Zimba 5% Permethrin Lotion
Zimba Lotion is a potent topical pediculicide and scabicide formulated for the effective treatment of infestations caused by Sarcoptes scabiei (scabies) and head lice. The active ingredient, Permethrin, is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a neurotoxin, disrupting the nerve impulses of the parasites to cause paralysis and eventual death. Zimba Lotion is designed to penetrate the skin and reach the mites within their burrows, ensuring comprehensive eradication of both adult parasites and their eggs. Its lotion base allows for easy, even application over the entire body, providing a reliable solution for restoring skin health and preventing the spread of infestation to others.

- Specifically targets the nervous system of parasites for rapid immobilization.
- Formulated for safe use on the body and scalp to treat various parasitic infestations.
- Helps stop the intense itching and skin irritation associated with scabies burrows.
- Designed to provide maximum parasite control with a balanced profile for skin tolerance.

Precautions
- Do not ingest. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or any internal mucous membranes.
- Temporary burning, stinging, or redness may occur after application. If severe irritation persists, consult a physician.
- To prevent re-infestation, all clothing, bedding, and towels used by the patient should be washed in hot water and dried on high heat.
- Since scabies spreads easily, it is often recommended that all household members be treated simultaneously.
- Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
How to Use
- Ensure the skin is clean, cool, and dry before application. Do not apply immediately after a hot bath.
- Massage the lotion thoroughly into the skin from the neck down to the soles of the feet, paying special attention to skin folds, between fingers and toes, and under fingernails.
- Leave the lotion on the skin for 8 to 14 hours (usually overnight) before washing it off thoroughly in a bath or shower.
- For infants or elderly patients, the lotion may be applied to the hairline, neck, and forehead, avoiding the area around the eyes.
- If live mites are still observed 7 to 14 days after the first treatment, a second application may be necessary as directed by your doctor.
