Elimite 30g (permethrin)

What is Elimite 30g?

Elimite 30g is a prescription-strength cream used to treat scabies, a skin infestation caused by tiny mites that burrow under your skin and make your life miserable. If you've been scratching like crazy, especially at night, and nothing’s helped—this is the cream you’re probably looking for.

The active ingredient in Elimite cream is permethrin 5% cream, a powerful medication that kills mites and their eggs in a single use. It’s used by people of all ages—kids, adults, even the elderly—to stop the itching, kill the bugs, and give the skin time to heal.

It’s not always pleasant to talk about skin mites, but once you’ve had them, you know how urgent it is to get rid of them fast. That’s where Elimite 30 g works best. Available now at Sanford Pharmacy, shipped clean and sealed, ready when you are.

Drug class

Elimite 30g belongs to the pyrethroid class of drugs. These are synthetic compounds made to mimic the natural insecticides found in chrysanthemum flowers.

The active component, permethrin 5% cream, is what makes this product so effective. It's known for being both strong on mites and safe on skin, which is why it’s often chosen for treating scabies in both children and adults.

There are other forms of permethrin out there—like permethrin 10, permethrin lotion, and even permethrin for dogs—but this one is made for humans and is formulated to treat skin infestations properly.

How Does Elimite 30g Work

Kills mites on contact

Permethrin 5% cream works by interfering with the nervous system of the scabies mite. It paralyzes and kills them, usually within hours of application.

Destroys mite eggs too

It doesn’t just wipe out the living mites. It also targets the eggs, so they can’t hatch and start the cycle all over again. That’s what sets permethrin 5 cream apart from milder products.

Works under the surface

Scabies mites burrow under your skin to lay eggs. That’s why surface-level creams often fail. But Elimite cream penetrates just enough to reach them without soaking too deep into your bloodstream.

Minimal absorption

Though powerful, it stays mostly on the outer layers of your skin. That means fewer permethrin side effects, especially compared to oral scabies medications.

Onset of Action

Relief from itching and irritation can start as soon as 24 hours after using Elimite 30g, but don’t expect everything to stop right away. The mites may be dead, but your skin needs time to heal.

Some people feel itching for up to 2 to 4 weeks after treatment—this doesn’t mean it didn’t work. It’s just your body reacting to mite waste and dead skin.

If new bumps appear after a week or two, or if symptoms worsen, you might need a second treatment. Talk to your doctor—or reach out to Sanford Pharmacy for guidance.

How to Use Elimite 30g

How to apply

Clean and dry your skin before applying. Rub permethrin cream 30 g over your entire body from the neck down. Don’t forget between your fingers, under nails, and behind your knees.

In babies, apply to scalp, face (avoiding eyes and mouth), neck, and ears—since scabies often spreads differently in children.

How long to leave on

Leave the cream on for 8 to 14 hours, usually overnight. After that, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water.

Don’t reapply unless your doctor says to. One dose is enough in most cases. But some people may need a second round 7–14 days later.

Wash everything

After applying Elimite cream, wash your bedding, clothes, and towels in hot water. Scabies spreads fast—don’t take chances.

Ask Sanford Pharmacy if you’re unsure how much you need based on body size. They’ll help you pick the right quantity.

Available Forms

You can find permethrin in various strengths and forms:

➽ Permethrin cream 30 g – standard human use for scabies
➽ Permethrin lotion – sometimes used for lice
➽ Permethrin 10 – very strong, used mostly for animal care and outdoor use
➽ Permethrin for dogs – do not use on humans
➽ Permethrin 5 cream – standard treatment strength for human scabies

Sanford Pharmacy stocks only the human-safe versions like Elimite 30g, labeled and packed right.

How This Product Differs From Others

Some over-the-counter creams are too weak to kill mites fully. Others, like permethrin 10, are too strong and made for dogs or farms.

Elimite 30 g uses permethrin 5% cream, which is the sweet spot—strong enough to work, but made to be safe on human skin.

Compared to older treatments, it doesn’t smell bad, doesn’t stain clothes, and doesn’t need to be used every single day.

This is one of the few treatments where one dose often works. That alone puts it ahead of most others.

Dosage Information

Missed dose instructions

This isn’t like daily medicine. If you forget to apply it the night you’re supposed to, just do it the next night. But don’t wait too long, especially if symptoms are worsening.

Overdose risks and symptoms

Using too much or too often can lead to:

➥  Mild burning or redness
➥  Swelling or tingling
➥  Rarely, nausea or dizziness (if over-applied or ingested)

Don’t apply more than instructed. And never use animal-strength products like permethrin 10 on yourself. Stick to human-use permethrin 5 cream.

Storage Information

⪢  Store Elimite 30g at room temp, in a dry spot.

⪢  Keep the cap on. Avoid freezing or overheating.

⪢  Don’t keep it in the bathroom—too humid. And don’t share your tube.

⪢  Scabies spreads by contact.

When you order from Sanford Pharmacy, your pack comes sealed, clean, and fresh.

Warnings and Precautions

🚨  Don’t use Elimite cream if you’ve had a reaction to permethrin before. If your skin burns or swells badly, stop and call a doctor.

🚨  Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. If it gets in, rinse with water for several minutes.

🚨  Safe for most people, but check with your doctor if you’re pregnant, nursing, or treating a baby under 2 months.

🚨  Even though it’s easy to apply, scabies treatment needs care. Everyone in the household should be treated at the same time to avoid re-infestation.

🚨  If you're unsure how much to use or when, ask your doctor—or call Sanford Pharmacy for real guidance.

Drug-to-Drug Interactions

Since Elimite 30g is applied to the skin, drug interactions are rare. But still:

➣  Avoid using with other skin treatments unless advised
➣  Don’t apply steroids at the same time—it might reduce effectiveness
➣  Wait before using moisturizers or cosmetics on treated skin

Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you’re using anything else on your skin regularly.

Drug-to-Food Interactions

➣  None directly. You don’t eat this cream, and food doesn’t affect how it works. But keep in mind:

➣  Caffeine and alcohol can make itching worse in some people—stay hydrated and cut back for a few days.

➣  Also, healthy skin heals faster—eat right, sleep, and rest well while your skin recovers.

Side Effects

➜  Mild burning or tingling
➜  Itching that lasts a few days
➜  Redness
➜  Dry or flaky skin
➜  Swelling (rare)
➜  Eye or mouth irritation (if accidentally applied)
➜  Allergic rash (very rare)

Most symptoms go away in a few days. Moisturizer helps a lot after treatment.
