About this product
Overview
MITONIL CREAM 30GM contains the active ingredient Permethrin, which is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide. Here’s some information about this medication:
Uses
MITONIL CREAM 30GM is primarily used for the treatment of scabies, a skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs, thereby alleviating the symptoms associated with scabies, such as intense itching and rash.
How it Works
Permethrin, the active ingredient in MITONIL CREAM 30GM, acts on the nervous system of the mites, causing paralysis and eventual death. It also has ovicidal activity, meaning it can kill the eggs of the mites, which helps prevent re-infestation.
Application
To use MITONIL CREAM 30GM for the treatment of scabies, follow these steps:
- Thoroughly wash and dry the affected areas of the skin.
- Apply a thin layer of the cream to the entire body from the neck down to the soles of the feet, including the palms of the hands and the spaces between the fingers and toes.
- Leave the cream on for the prescribed duration (usually 8 to 14 hours) before washing it off.
- Repeat the treatment after 7 to 10 days if necessary.
Side Effects
Common side effects of MITONIL CREAM 30GM may include:
- Mild burning or stinging sensation at the application site
- Itching or redness of the skin
- Tingling or numbness
- Rash or irritation
Precautions
Before using MITONIL CREAM 30GM, inform your healthcare provider if you have any known allergies to permethrin or other pyrethroids. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. It is also essential to wash all clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water to prevent re-infestation.
When Not to Use
MITONIL CREAM 30GM should not be used in individuals with a known allergy to permethrin or any of the other ingredients in the cream. It is not recommended for use in children under 2 months of age without medical supervision.
