Infectoscab (Permethrin)

Permethrin interferes with the parasites' nervous system by blocking voltage‑gated sodium channels. This action prolongs neuronal depolarisation, leading to paralysis and death of the mite or louse, thereby clearing the infestation.

The specific dose and duration of treatment are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and severity of infestation. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Safety data for permethrin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their physician before using Infectoscab.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Infectoscab product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Infectoscab (permethrin) belongs to the pyrethroid class, which is generally well‑tolerated and effective after a single application. Alternative scabicides, such as benzyl benzoate or ivermectin, may require multiple doses or have different safety profiles. Choice of therapy depends on patient factors and physician preference.

Store Infectoscab at ambient temperature below 25 °C. Keep the product in its original packaging, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed when not in use.

Infectoscab is applied topically to clean, dry skin, covering the entire affected area and a margin of surrounding skin. The medication is left on for the period specified by the prescriber, then washed off as directed.

Serious adverse reactions are rare but may include severe allergic responses such as swelling, hives, or difficulty breathing, as well as intense dermatitis or secondary skin infection. Any signs of a serious reaction should prompt immediate medical attention.

Infectoscab should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to permethrin or other pyrethroids, and it should not be applied to broken, inflamed, or infected skin without medical advice. Children under the age recommended by local guidelines should also not use the product.
