About Elice Lotion

Elice Lotion belongs to the class of pyrethroids. It is an antiparasite drug used to treat infections caused by eggs, lice, and mites. It is used mainly used in the treatment of pediculosis and scabies. Pediculosis is the infestation of lice in the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp. It occurs most commonly in children above five years of age and spreads by head-to-contact. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. It is contagious and spreads from one person to another with physical contact. Patients with pediculosis and scabies experience rashes and persistent itching in the infected area, which worsens at night.

Elice Lotion contains Permethrin, an antiparasitic drug. It kills the small insects (mites) and their eggs that cause scabies. It also destroys head lice, which stick to your scalp and cause irritation.

Elice Lotion is exclusively for external use only. Some people may experience adverse effects such as redness, rash, burning sensation, and itching. 

Do not use Elice Lotion if you are allergic to Permethrin or chrysanthemums or any component present in Elice Lotion. Children below six years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before using Permethrin. The infected area should be kept clean and dry before applying the drug.

Elice Lotion is mostly used to treat parasitic infections. It targets eggs, lice, and mites. It releases chemicals known as pyrethrins which act on the nervous system. It inactivates the nerve membrane and paralyzes the insects, eventually killing them. It can also kill the nits and eggs of the insect.
