View company portfolio →What PMT (Permethrin) is used for
Permethrin is a medicine that kills tiny parasites living on the skin and hair, such as scabies mites and lice. It belongs to a group of man-made insect killers called pyrethroids, which are related to natural pyrethrins from chrysanthemum flowers. It works by upsetting the nerves of the mites and lice so they cannot move and die. It comes mainly as a cream that is spread on the skin, and in some countries as a lotion for the hair and scalp. Very little of it gets into the body through the skin.
- Scabies, an itchy skin rash caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin
- Crab (pubic) lice on the body
- Head lice, as a lotion for the hair and scalp (in some countries, such as the US)
- Crusted scabies (a severe form), together with a medicine taken by mouth, under a doctor's care
Get medical help straight away if
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of the face, lips or throat, wheezing or trouble breathing.
- Get medical help straight away for difficulty breathing, which can very rarely happen in sensitive people.
- See a doctor if the skin looks infected: red, hot, swollen, crusted, or with pus. Infected scabies sores can lead to more serious infections if they are not treated.
- See a doctor if the skin irritation is severe or does not go away, or if an allergic rash with blisters or hives spreads beyond the treated area.
