Permethrin + Crotamiton
Pharmacology
Permethrin is a pyrethroid pediculocide and scabicide. It causes paralysis and death of the pest by inhibiting sodium ion influx through nerve cell membrane channels delaying repolarisation. Crotamiton has scabicidal and antipruritic action against Sarcoptes scabei. It is an effective pediculocide as well.
Dosage Administration
Lotion should be applied to clean, dry skin. If the body is hot due to warm bath or any other reason, skin should be allowed to cool. It should be applied to the whole body excluding head. The whole body should be washed thoroughly 8-12 hours after treatment. On the next day cloths and bed sheets should be cleaned with warm water. The lotion should be applied if lotion is washed out by water. Other members of the family should use this lotion as preventive in the same way due to its highly contagious effects. The lotion should not be applied to the vicinity of mouth and areas close to eyes.
Contraindications
The treatment of eczematous-like reactions with corticosteroids should be withheld prior to treatment with permethrin, as there is a risk of exacerbating the scabies infestation by reducing the immune response to the mite. The likelihood of interactions between the two treatments leading to potentiated adverse reactions or reduced efficacy is, however small.
Side Effects
Combination of permethrin 5% and crotamiton 10% is contra-indicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to permethrin or crotamiton.
Therapeutic
There are no reports of overdosage of permethrin & crotamiton. Excessive application to the skin might result in local adverse reactions. In the event of accidental ingestion by a child, gastric lavage should be considered if within 2 hours of ingestion. Treatment of hypersensitivity reactions should be symptomatic.
Storage Conditions
Combination of permethrin 5% and crotamiton 10% is contra-indicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to permethrin or crotamiton.
