About this product
Overview
Z-X Lotion 60ml contains Permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid used topically to treat scabies and lice infestations. It comes in a lotion form for easy application to the affected areas of the skin. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of the parasites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death.

- Scabies: It effectively kills the mites responsible for scabies, relieving symptoms such as itching, redness, and rash.
