Elimite comes in a cream and liquid (cream rinse) to use externally.
Usually, one application of Elimite completely eliminates the parasites.
However, the treatment may need to be repeated after 1 week; call your
doctor if signs of infestation (live parasites) reappear. Follow the
directions on the package or on your prescription label carefully, and
ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand.
Use Elimite exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of
it or use it more often than directed by your doctor.

on your hands. If this medication accidentally gets in your eyes, rinse
them thoroughly with water for at least 5 minutes.
