Permin 5% Cream belongs to the pyrethroid class of antiparasitic drugs. It is primarily used to treat infections caused by lice, mites, and their eggs, including conditions like pediculosis and scabies. Pediculosis is a lice infestation that typically affects the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp, and is most common in children over the age of five. It spreads through head-to-head contact. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites, which is contagious and spreads through physical contact. Both conditions result in rashes and persistent itching, particularly at night.
Permethrin, the active ingredient in Permin 5% Cream, is an antiparasitic agent that kills mites, lice, and their eggs. The cream works by disrupting the nervous system of these parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death.

Common side effects include:
Pediculosis is a parasitic infection caused by lice (Pediculus humanus), which feed on blood and infect the hairy parts of the body, including the scalp and pubic area. The lice attach to the scalp and lay eggs at the base of the hair.
Scabies is caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The mites burrow into the skin, causing intense itching, burning sensations, and rashes. The condition commonly affects areas such as the knees, elbows, breasts, thighs, pubic area, and the webbing between the fingers.
Permin 5% Cream effectively targets parasites such as lice, mites, and their eggs. It releases chemicals (pyrethrins) that disrupt the parasite's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death, and also kills eggs and nits.
