Al-pthrin 5 % Lotion 60 Ml contains permethrin (5%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Paralyses Scabies Mites: Permethrin disrupts the nerve cell membranes of scabies mites. This leads to prolonged over-excitement in these mites, causing them to become paralyzed.
• Kills Scabies Mites and Their Eggs: Permethrin's paralysis eventually kills both mature scabies mites and their eggs. This helps effectively manage and prevent further scabies infestations.
