Lyclear Dermal Cream - 30g

Lyclear Dermal Cream is used to treat scabies and crab lice. Lyclear Dermal Cream contains the active ingredient Permethrin 5%, a chemical with a broad range of insecticidal properties. It is an effective treatment for Scabies and Genital Lice (Crabs). The active ingredient, permethrin, belongs to a group of medicines called the pyrethroids, which are anti-parasitic agents.

Scabies: Adults: apply up to 30g of cream. Children 6-12 years: apply up to 15g of cream. Children 2 months to 5 years: apply up to 7.5g of cream. Apply to clean, dry, cool skin. If a warm bath has been taken prior to treatment, the skin should be allowed to cool before the cream is applied. Wash whole body thoroughly 8-12 hours after treatment. Treatment in children aged 2 months to 23 months should be given under close medical supervision. Children below 2 months: not recommended. Crab lice: Over 18 years only: apply up to 30g of cream to cover the pubic region, peri-anal, inner thighs down to the knees and any hair that grows up from the pubic area to the chest/stomach. Wash whole body thoroughly 24 hours after treatment. Under 18 years: not recommended.

Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Lyclear Dermal Cream, Permethrin, other pyrethroids or pyrethrins, or any of the ingredients listed. Take special care with Lyclear Dermal Cream if you are currently using a type of medicine called corticosteroid. Lyclear Dermal Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of eye contamination, rinse with water immediately. Ensure the skin is clean, dry and cool. Do not take a hot bath immediately before treatment. The cream rubs easily into the skin. You do not need to keep applying more cream until it can be seen on the surface of the skin. If the contents of the tube are swallowed by a child, talk to your doctor immediately. If too much cream is applied, it should be washed off with soap and warm water. If there are any signs of irritation, talk to your doctor. Lyclear Dermal Cream may cause minor irritation for a short while. The itching associated with scabies can continue for up to 4 weeks even after a successful application of Lyclear Dermal Cream, as the dead mites and eggs are still attached to the skin. There is no need to reapply the cream within this period. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using Lyclear Dermal Cream in pregnancy or whilst breast-feeding.
