Online Permethrin Use Indication:

Permethrin comes in a cream and liquid (cream rinse) to use externally. Usually, one application of Permethrin 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 Permethrin exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than directed by your doctor.
