Ectomethrin cream is used to treat scabies and lice, as it kills the parasites that cause these conditions by affecting their nervous system. It is considered an effective and fast treatment for getting rid of the itching and skin irritation associated with scabies or lice. The cream is used by applying an appropriate layer of it on the skin and spreading it well, especially in the affected areas such as between the fingers, wrists, under the armpits, and behind the ears. It is usually left on the skin for a specific period according to the doctor’s instructions. Then the body is washed well with warm water and soap. Clothes and bedding that have come into contact with the infected person must be washed to prevent re-infection.
Ectomethrin cream should be avoided on the face or eyes, and it should be used with caution in children and pregnant women according to the doctor’s instructions.
