Pharmacological action

Pharmaceutical group: ectoparasite exterminator. Pharmaceutical action: Antiparasitic agent, has an anti-pediculous, insecticidal effect. It interferes with the permeability of Na+channels in insect nerve cell membranes, inhibits the process of polarization (repolarization) of the nerve cell, which leads to a paralyzing effect. It is effective against nits, larvae and mature individuals of head and pubic lice, fleas, ticks (including scabies) and other ectoparasites of the arthropod family. With a single treatment of surfaces affected by pediculosis, the effect persists from 2-3 weeks to 6 weeks (depending on the dosage form used). As an anti-scratch drug, it is effective after a single procedure. Low-toxic to humans and when applied to the skin in the recommended doses and concentrations, it does not have a skin-resorptive, local irritant and sensitizing effect.
