Nupermy Cream

Nupermy Cream is a permethrin topical cream supplied in a strip/box of 10 tubes, with the amount of permethrin listed on the label of each tube. Permethrin is an antiparasitic pyrethroid medication, not an antifungal, and Nupermy Cream is used on the skin to treat certain mite and lice infestations as directed by a clinician. It works by killing the parasites on contact when applied correctly to the affected area.

How it works: Permethrin affects the nervous system of mites and lice, causing paralysis and death. In cream form, it is spread over the skin so it can stay in contact with the parasites for the prescribed time.

Because Nupermy Cream is sold as a cream in tube form, it is meant for direct skin application rather than swallowing or using with a different device. The exact labeled strength matters because higher-labeled permethrin products may be chosen for specific infestations or for patients who need a carefully selected topical treatment based on age, skin area, and doctor assessment.

• Scabies treatment
• Lice treatment when prescribed
• Treatment of mite infestations
• Skin parasitic infections as directed by a doctor

• Use Nupermy Cream only on clean, dry skin and follow the exact application area your doctor prescribed.
• Apply a thin, even layer to the affected skin and any nearby areas specified in the directions, then leave it on for the prescribed time.
• Avoid the eyes, mouth, nose, and other mucous membranes; wash hands after applying unless the hands are the treatment area.
• After the contact time, wash the cream off thoroughly with water and soap if instructed by your prescriber.
• Change into clean clothing and bedding after treatment if your clinician advises it.
• Do not reapply Nupermy Cream more often than prescribed, even if itching continues for a while after treatment.

Nupermy Cream provides permethrin in the exact labeled amount per tube, and the dose is the amount your prescriber tells you to use for each treatment. It is usually applied once, but repeat treatment or more than one tube may be needed only if a doctor specifically recommends it; there is no fixed maximum per day because this is a topical prescription product used under medical direction.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Permethrin may include:

• Mild burning or stinging where applied
• Itching that may continue briefly after treatment
• Redness or irritation of the skin
• Dry skin or peeling
• Numbness or tingling at the application site

• Use only on the skin; do not swallow Nupermy Cream.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, nostrils, and inside the genital or rectal area unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise.
• Tell your clinician if you have sensitive skin, eczema, or broken skin, because irritation may be stronger with this cream.
• Use caution in young children and follow age-specific instructions carefully, since larger body-surface exposure can increase irritation.
• Do not use other skin medicines on the treated area unless your doctor says it is okay.
• Itching after treatment does not always mean the medicine failed; symptoms can linger after the parasites are killed.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a clinician before using Nupermy Cream.

• Other topical insecticides or anti-parasite medicines on the same area
• Harsh soaps, scrubs, or astringents that can increase skin irritation
• Other medicated creams or ointments applied to the same skin area
• Corticosteroid creams unless your doctor says they can be combined

Store Nupermy Cream at room temperature in the original tube, tightly closed, and keep it out of reach of children.
