PERMIRIV 5% LOTION 60ML

Permethrin is an insecticide that interacts with multiple mechanisms in the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and death. It blocks voltage-gated sodium channels on neuronal cell membranes, preventing the generation and propagation of nerve impulses, resulting in impaired nerve signaling. Additionally, permethrin binds to the acethylcholine esterase (AChE) enzyme, inhibiting its activity which causes a buildup of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, leading to overstimulation of the nervous system. Furthermore, its affinity for the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor causes disruption in the regulation of neuronal excitability, resulting in overactivity in the nervous system. These various modes of action make permethrin a potent and effective pesticide for targeting insects.
