Overview Casthrin 5% Lotion

Permethrin 5% lotion is a topical antiparasitic agent indicated for scabies treatment. Scabies is a skin infestation by microscopic mites causing intense irritation. This medication eliminates both adult mites and their eggs. Your physician will provide application instructions and dosage. Carefully review the accompanying patient leaflet for proper use. Ensure your skin is clean, dry, and at room temperature prior to application. A thorough body wash is necessary 8-14 hours post-application. A single treatment usually suffices, but a second application may be advised after at least 7 days. Post-treatment itching, often lasting several weeks, typically stems from an allergic response to dead mites, not treatment failure. Common mild side effects include localized burning, stinging, or tingling. Not all users experience side effects. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, allergies (medications, food, or other substances), or asthma before using. While generally safe, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before use.
