Uses and Indications:

WEEVA Lotion, formulated with 5% Permethrin and 0.1% Cetrimide, is an effective anti-parasitic lotion designed for various skin conditions. Its primary uses and indications include:

1. Scabies Treatment: WEEVA Lotion is primarily indicated for the treatment of scabies, a contagious skin condition caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. The active ingredient, Permethrin, effectively eliminates both the mites and their eggs, providing relief from intense itching and irritation.
2. Lice Infestation: This lotion is effective for treating head lice (Pediculosis capitis) and body lice (Pediculosis corporis). The combination of Permethrin and Cetrimide helps to kill lice and nits, providing a comprehensive solution for those experiencing lice infestations.
3. Management of Other Parasitic Infections: WEEVA Lotion can be utilized to manage other skin infestations caused by parasites, helping to cleanse the affected area while delivering effective treatment.
4. Prevention of Reinfestation: Regular use of WEEVA Lotion can aid in preventing reinfestation by eliminating any residual parasites on the skin or hair.
5. Antiseptic Action: Cetrimide, as part of the formulation, provides antiseptic properties that help reduce the risk of secondary infections that may arise from skin infestations.

Dosage:

• Apply as directed by a healthcare professional, typically once for scabies and as needed for lice.

Mechanism of Action:

WEEVA Lotion combines two active ingredients, Permethrin and Cetrimide, each contributing to its effectiveness in treating parasitic skin infestations. Here’s how they work:

1.Permethrin (5% w/v):

• Nerve Disruption: Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that targets the nerve cells of parasites such as mites and lice. It disrupts the normal functioning of sodium channels in the nerve membrane, leading to prolonged depolarization of the nerves.
• Paralysis and Death: This disruption results in paralysis and eventually death of the parasites, effectively eliminating both the adult forms and their eggs (nits). The rapid action of Permethrin reduces the population of the infestation and alleviates symptoms like itching and inflammation.

2.Cetrimide (0.1% w/v):

• Surfactant and Antiseptic: Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound that acts as a surfactant, helping to break down the outer protective layers of the parasites and facilitating the penetration of Permethrin.
• Antiseptic Properties: It also has antiseptic properties that help cleanse the skin, reducing the risk of secondary bacterial infections that can occur due to scratching and irritation from the infestation.

Combined Effect:

• The synergistic action of Permethrin and Cetrimide in WEEVA Lotion provides a comprehensive approach to treating scabies and lice by ensuring effective eradication of the parasites while also promoting skin health and hygiene. The formulation not only targets the infestation directly but also helps manage the skin condition resulting from it.

Side Effects:

• Possible side effects include skin irritation, redness, or itching. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

Contraindications:

• Not recommended for individuals with hypersensitivity to Permethrin or other ingredients.

Drug Interactions:

• Discuss any other medications you are taking with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
