Product Information

  • Description

    Permethrin 5% withw is a topical insecticide used to treat head lice infestations. It works by disrupting the nervous system of lice and other insects, resulting in their death. Permethrin functions by binding to the voltage-gated sodium channels in the nerve cells of lice. This binding causes a persistent activation of the channels, leading to an influx of sodium ions into the cells. The disruption of the normal functioning of the cells causes paralysis and death of the lice. It is important to note that Permethrin's mechanism of action is specifically toxic to insects and does not affect humans to the same extent, making it a safe and effective treatment for head lice infestations.
