PC LOTION by MK Healthcare is a specialized topical treatment formulated with a powerful combination of Permethrin and Cetrimide to effectively combat common parasitic skin infestations. This dual-action lotion is a primary dermatological solution for addressing persistent conditions like scabies and pediculosis (lice). By offering a comprehensive approach that targets both the parasites and the environment they inhabit, PC LOTION ensures effective eradication, making it a reliable choice for families and individuals seeking fast relief from these highly contagious and uncomfortable infestations.
Permethrin and Cetrimide: A Powerful Combination
The strength of PC LOTION lies in its two active ingredients. Permethrin is a potent, broad-spectrum synthetic pyrethroid known for its neurotoxic effect on mites and lice, effectively paralyzing and killing them, including their eggs (nits). Cetrimide acts as a powerful antiseptic and detergent, not only helping to cleanse the affected area but also assisting in the mechanical removal of dead lice, nits, and mites, while also providing an antiseptic effect to prevent secondary bacterial skin infections that often accompany scratching. This combination ensures high efficacy in treating and managing the outbreak.
Effective and Soothing Treatment for Skin Infestations
Designed as a non-greasy lotion, PC LOTION is easy to apply and ensures optimal contact with the skin and hair where the parasites reside. Its targeted action rapidly eliminates the source of the discomfort, providing quick relief from the incessant itching and irritation that characterize scabies and lice infestations. The formula is designed to be gentle on the skin while being lethal to the parasites, promoting a faster return to comfort and clear skin. The convenience of a lotion makes it suitable for application across large body areas affected by scabies or on the scalp for head lice.
