Permite Cream 5% (30 g)

Permite Cream 5% (30 g) is a topical cream containing permethrin 5% in each 30 g tube. It belongs to the antiparasitic, scabicide class and is commonly used on the skin to treat scabies infestations and, in some cases, lice when prescribed. Permite Cream 5% (30 g) is applied externally only and works locally where the infestation is on the skin. The product is supplied as a box of 10 tubes from Curatio Healthcare India Pvt. Ltd.

How it works: Permethrin in Permite Cream 5% (30 g) works by disrupting the nervous system of mites and lice, causing paralysis and death. When applied as a cream, it stays on the skin long enough to reach the organisms in the affected areas.

Permite Cream 5% (30 g) is a higher-strength permethrin cream that is typically chosen when a clinician wants a prescription-strength, whole-body scabies treatment rather than a lower-strength OTC lice product. Because it is a 5% cream, it is meant for carefully directed use on the skin, and the feel can be thicker and more occlusive than lighter formulations. A doctor may choose Permite Cream 5% (30 g) for cases that need a scabicide-strength permethrin regimen.

• Scabies treatment
• Lice treatment when prescribed
• Treatment of skin infestations caused by mites
• Relief of itching linked to scabies after treatment begins

• Use Permite Cream 5% (30 g) only on the skin exactly as your doctor directs.
• Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin, usually over the entire body or as instructed for the infestation being treated.
• Leave the cream on for the full contact time your prescriber recommends, then wash it off.
• Avoid getting the cream in the eyes, mouth, nose, or inside the vagina or rectum.
• Wash hands after applying, unless the hands are part of the treated area.
• If a second application is prescribed, use it on the schedule your doctor gives you; do not repeat on your own.

Each tube of Permite Cream 5% (30 g) provides permethrin 5% for topical use, not an oral dose. The frequency depends on the condition and the prescriber’s plan; for scabies, it is often used as a single treatment with a possible repeat application later if directed. There is no self-set maximum per day because the doctor decides the amount, coverage, and repeat timing for this strength.

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 on the skin
• Itching after application, which may continue briefly even after treatment
• Redness or irritation at the application site
• Dry skin or mild rash
• Tingling or numbness where the cream was applied
• Itching can feel more noticeable at this 5% strength because it is a prescription-strength topical treatment

• For external use only; do not swallow Permite Cream 5% (30 g).
• Do not use on broken, heavily inflamed, or infected skin unless your clinician tells you to.
• Avoid the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of allergy to permethrin, pyrethrins, or chrysanthemums.
• Use extra caution in young children, older adults, and people with very sensitive skin.
• Do not use more often or longer than prescribed just because itching continues.
• If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or treating a household member at the same time, ask a clinician for guidance.

• Other topical medicines that irritate the skin, such as strong exfoliants or harsh acne treatments
• Other scabies or lice products unless your clinician says to combine them
• Corticosteroid creams applied to the same areas may change how the skin feels during treatment
• Occlusive dressings or thick coverings that keep the cream on longer than directed
