About this product
Overview
Lotrix Lotion 60ml contains Permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide used to treat infestations of lice, mites, and scabies. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of these parasites, leading to paralysis and eventual death. It is commonly used topically as a lotion or cream for the treatment of various ectoparasitic infections.

- Eradication of scabies (Sarcoptes scabiei) mite infestations.
- Management of other ectoparasitic infections caused by mites or lice.
Administration

- Leave the lotion on for the recommended duration as instructed by your healthcare provider before washing it off.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and open wounds.
Precautions
- Lotrix Lotion should not be ingested or applied to broken or inflamed skin.
- Use with caution in individuals with known allergies to pyrethroids or chrysanthemums, as they may be more prone to allergic reactions.
- Avoid contact with clothing or bedding until the lotion is completely dry to prevent staining.
- Do not use in infants under 2 months of age without medical supervision.
