Perzar Cream

Perzar Cream contains 5% w/w Permethrin, an effective medication commonly used to treat scabies and lice infestations. It is a topical cream that works by killing the mites and lice that cause these conditions. Permethrin belongs to a class of medications called pyrethroids, which act by disrupting the nerve function of the pests, leading to their death. Perzar Cream is widely recommended for its effectiveness in providing relief from symptoms such as itching and irritation caused by these infestations.
