Unix-C Lotion 5%+10% combines Permethrin 5% and Crotamiton 10% in a single topical formulation, providing a comprehensive solution for the treatment of parasitic skin infestations such as scabies and itching-related dermatoses.

This combination lotion is particularly effective for patients suffering from intense itching caused by scabies, lice, or other parasitic infestations. By targeting both the parasites and the associated skin discomfort, Unix-C Lotion helps restore comfort, reduce scratching, and prevent secondary infections caused by irritation.

The lotion formulation allows for easy application and rapid absorption into the affected areas, ensuring both therapeutic and symptomatic relief in a convenient treatment regimen.

Composition

Each 100 gm lotion contains:

• Permethrin – 5% w/w

• Crotamiton – 10% w/w

Indications

Unix-C Lotion 5%+10% is indicated for:

• Treatment of scabies caused by Sarcoptes scabiei

• Relief of itching associated with parasitic infestations

• Treatment of head lice infestations

• Soothing and calming irritated or inflamed skin due to scratching

This combination is suitable for cases where both parasite eradication and relief from itching are desired.

Mechanism of Action

• Permethrin: Targets the nervous system of parasites, causing paralysis and death by prolonging the opening of sodium channels in their nerve cells. This eradicates mites and lice effectively.

• Crotamiton: Acts as a local antipruritic agent by reducing nerve impulses associated with itching and providing a soothing effect on irritated skin.

The dual action ensures elimination of parasites while simultaneously alleviating discomfort from pruritus.

1. Clean and dry the affected area before application.

4. Wash hands thoroughly after application.

5. Repeat treatment if advised by a doctor, especially in severe infestations.
