Scabifresh Cream

Scabifresh Cream contains Permethrin (5% w/w), a topical treatment used to effectively manage scabies infestations and lice. Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by microscopic mites that burrow into the skin, leading to itching, redness, and irritation. Scabifresh Cream provides fast relief by eliminating these mites and killing lice, preventing further spread and offering comfort from intense itching. This cream is a safe and highly effective option for treating scabies and lice in both adults and children (over 2 years of age).

Uses of Scabifresh Cream

Scabifresh Cream is primarily used to:

• Treat scabies caused by the infestation of mites (Sarcoptes scabiei)
• Eliminate head lice and body lice
• Relieve itching, redness, and inflammation associated with scabies and lice infestations
• Prevent reinfestation when used correctly

How Scabifresh Cream Works

Permethrin, the active ingredient in Scabifresh Cream, targets the nervous system of scabies mites and lice. It disrupts the function of their nerves, paralyzing and ultimately killing the parasites. This action stops the spread of scabies and lice and provides relief from the associated symptoms of itching and irritation.
