PMT Cream

PMT Cream contains 5% w/w Permethrin, a potent medication primarily used to treat scabies and lice infestations. It is a topical cream that effectively eliminates the mites causing scabies and lice, providing relief from associated symptoms like itching and irritation. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of these pests, leading to their death. PMT Cream is highly recommended by healthcare professionals for its effectiveness in managing these conditions.
