Directions for Use of Permom Lotion 60ml

Here's how you should use Permom Lotion:

Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the lotion on your entire body from the neck down, making sure it gets under your fingernails.
Pay special attention to skin folds, creases, and between your fingers and toes.
Leave it on your skin for 8-14 hours, such as overnight, before washing it off.
Remember, this medicine is meant for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth.
For personalised advice on usage and dosage, consult your doctor.

Permom Lotion is applied topically.

Permom Lotion may have the following side effects:

Burning sensation
Stinging
Itching
Redness
Swelling
Numbness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Permom Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines:

Burning or Stinging Sensation: Applying the lotion after a cold shower might help to reduce this effect.
Itching: Consider applying this lotion at bedtime to minimise daytime discomfort from itching.

Permom Lotion contains permethrin (5%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

Disrupts Mite Nerve Cell Membranes: Permethrin works by altering sodium channel currents in the nerve cell membranes of scabies mites. Increasing the permeability of the nerve cell membrane to sodium, delays nerve repolarisation, resulting in paralysis and death of the mites.
Remains Effective After Rinse: Even after you wash off Permom Lotion, permethrin continues to work as it binds residually to your skin.

Please remember that understanding how a medicine works can help you better comprehend its effect on your body, but this information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor if you have questions or concerns about your medication or health condition.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Permom Lotion when you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's wise to speak with your doctor before using Permom Lotion. They can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

Alcohol

The interaction of Permom Lotion with alcohol is not typically a concern as it's a topical product. Nevertheless, always follow your doctor's advice.

Liver

As this medicine is usually applied on the skin, liver health issues rarely impact its use. Still, if you have any liver-related concerns, it's sensible to talk to your doctor before using Permom Lotion.

Kidney

Similar to liver health, kidney conditions usually do not affect the use of Permom Lotion. However, if you have any kidney problems, it would be wise to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

Permom Lotion does not typically affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. It is a topical solution and doesn't usually cause drowsiness or affect concentration.

Allergy

Permom Lotion should not be used if you are allergic to permethrin or chrysanthemums. If you have any known allergies, particularly to pyrethroids, make sure to discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Children

Always consult your doctor before applying this medicine to a child as it may not be safe.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Permom Lotion under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Permom Lotion interacts with the following medicines:

Topical Irritants: Concurrent application of Permom Lotion with other topical medications that cause skin irritation, like salicylic acid, may exacerbate skin discomfort.
Antiparasitics: Use of other topical antiparasitics such as Benznidazole alongside Permom Lotion may increase the risk of skin irritation and should be done only on the doctor's advice.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known specific food interactions with Permom Lotion. As it is applied topically, food consumption should not affect the function of this medicine.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Permom Lotion interacts with the following diseases:

Skin Disorders: If you have inflammatory skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, apply Permom Lotion cautiously as it might increase skin irritation.
Allergic Reactions: If you have a known allergy to permethrin, chrysanthemums, or other pyrethroids, avoid using this lotion as it may trigger an allergic reaction.

Daily Dose

The daily application of Permom Lotion should be as instructed by your doctor. The quantity might vary depending on your health condition and how your body responds to the lotion. Always follow the prescribed quantity and never increase it without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply extra lotion, don't worry. Just wash off the excess with warm water. But if you feel any discomfort or notice worsening symptoms, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

In case you forget to apply Permom Lotion at the usual time, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next scheduled application, skip the forgotten one and continue with your regular schedule. Never apply extra lotion to make up for a missed application without first consulting your doctor.

Always store your Permom Lotion below 25°C.
Find a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep the lotion.
Be certain to keep it out of reach of children.

Since scabies are highly contagious, maintaining personal hygiene is paramount. Regularly wash your hands and body with soap and water, especially after close contact with others.
Keep your surroundings clean. Wash your clothes, towels, and bed linens in hot water if you've used them within three days of applying Permom Lotion. This helps manage scabies by eliminating any mites that may have transferred onto these items.
