P-Scab Lotion

P-Scab Lotion is a topical medication used for the treatment of scabies, a skin condition caused by infestation with the scabies mite. It contains Permethrin (5% w/v), a potent insecticide that helps eliminate the mites and their eggs. P-Scab Lotion is commonly prescribed for adults and children to manage scabies infestations effectively. By killing the mites, it helps in relieving the intense itching and irritation associated with the condition.
