Scabvent Lotion contains permethrin (5%), which acts on your body in the following ways:

Disruption of Sodium Channel Currents: Permethrin works by interrupting sodium channel currents in the nerve cell membranes of the mites. This disruption leads to delayed repolarization, which means it takes longer for these nerve cells to reset and be ready for the next signal.
Paralysis of Mites: The delayed repolarization caused by permethrin results in paralysis of the mites. In simple terms, it stops them from moving or functioning.
Death of Mites: The ultimate effect of permethrin on mites is their death. This means that it effectively kills off the mites causing your skin condition.
Eradication of Mite Eggs: Permethrin also targets and eradicates the eggs laid by these mites, reducing their chances to reproduce and worsen your condition.
