Elimite

The agent of choice for scabies is permerthrin 5% (Elimite) cream. Alternative agents in subjects who cannot use permethrin are crotamiton 10% (Eurax) and oral ivermectin (Stromectal) 200 mcg/kg as a single dose. To initiate the treatment with permerthrin, the skin should be scrubbed in a warm soapy bath to remove the scabs. The permerthrin lotion should then be applied to the whole body, avoiding the face, mucous membranes, and eyes, and left on for 8 to 14 hours. A single application eradicates 97% of scabies. All close contacts should be treated appropriately. The pruritus associated with scabies may persist for 2 to 4 weeks because of the remnants of mite parts in the skin.

Pyrethrins are naturally occurring pesticides derived from chrysanthemum plants. They are active against many insects and mites. Over-the-counter liquid and gel preparations of pyrethrins with piperonyl butoxide are available for the treatment of pediculosis (piperonyl butoxide inhibits the hydrolytic enzymes that metabolize the pyrethrins in the arthropod). A synthetic pyre-throid, permethrin (Elimite), is available by prescription. A lower concentration of permethrin (Nix) is available without prescription. Pyrethrins and permethrin are quite safe.

It is recommended that permethrin 1% cream rinse (Nix) be applied undiluted to affected areas of pediculosis for 10 minutes and then rinsed off with warm water. For the treatment of scabies, a single application of 5% cream (Elimite) is applied to the body from the neck down, left on for 8-14 hours, and then washed off. Adverse reactions to permethrin include transient burning, stinging, and pruritus. Cross-sensitization to pyrethrins or chrysanthemums has been alleged but inadequately documented.

Permethrin is a synthetic derivative of the insecticide pyrethrum, which was obtained originally from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium. Neurotoxicity associated with this compound is extremely rare. A 5% cream (Acticin, Elimite, others) is available in the treatment of scabies. This is used as an 8- to 12-hour or overnight application. A 1% permethrin cream rinse (NIX) also is available for the treatment of lice.

Besides alkene loss requiring sufficient chain length to occur, the smaller car-benium ions such as ethyl, propyl, or butyl ion exhibit remarkable dehydrogenation (Chap. 6.2.4.). These single and even double H2 elimitations lead to the observation of characteristic accompanying peak patterns at m/z-2 and m/z-4, i.e., at the low-mass side of the corresponding carbenium ion peak.
