Use methrax only on the skin and not on open wounds. If severe skin irritation or an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue use and seek medical attention.

How to Take methrax

The usage method for methrax depends on its form. For scabies, apply the 5% cream or lotion to the entire body from the neck down and leave it on for 8 to 14 hours before washing off. For lice, apply to the hair and scalp, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse out. Always follow your doctor’s advice for the correct usage.
