What Is Permethrin 5?
Permethrin is a topical antiparasitic (scabicide and pediculicide) used to treat scabies (the mite Sarcoptes scabiei) and head lice. It is the generic equivalent of Elimite / Nix. It works as a synthetic pyrethroid that paralyses and kills the parasites and their eggs by disrupting their nerve function.
Key Benefits
- Up to 80% cheaper than branded equivalents
- Same active ingredient, strength, and therapeutic effect
- Manufactured to WHO and international quality standards
- Discreet packaging and fast worldwide shipping
- No hidden fees – the price you see is the price you pay
How to Take Permethrin 5
For scabies, apply the cream over the whole body from the neck down (including between fingers/toes and under nails), leave on for 8-14 hours, then wash off; a second application after 7 days is often advised. For head lice, apply to clean, towel-dried hair and scalp, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Wash bedding and clothing in hot water. Follow the full instructions provided.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects are limited to the skin and include mild burning, stinging, itching, redness, or tingling at the application site, which usually settle quickly. Itching may continue for a couple of weeks after successful treatment as the skin heals. Seek medical advice if severe irritation, rash, or swelling develops, or if symptoms persist after treatment.
Precautions
- Inform your doctor of all other medications you are taking to avoid interactions
- Tell your doctor about any allergies or existing medical conditions
- Keep out of the reach of children
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Sarah Johnson –
My pharmacist was surprised at how much I saved on Permethrin 5 through IPM. Same quality, around 65% less.
Daniel Lewis –
Good product overall. Permethrin 5 works as expected. Shipping to Australia took 12 days – a little longer than hoped, but the medication is fine.
Hannah Carter –
Effective medication at a good price. Took slightly longer than expected to arrive but everything was intact. Good value overall.
Timothy Morris –
Same active ingredient as the branded version and works identically. Cannot believe the price difference. Very happy.
Henry Powell –
No complaints about the Permethrin 5 itself – genuine and effective. Delivery to South Africa was a touch slow but it got here safely.
