Methlice-CT

Methlice-CT is a topical combination lotion marketed by Alicia Healthcare, an Indian generic pharmaceutical company. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of scabies, caused by the mite *Sarcoptes scabiei*, and pediculosis (head lice infestations). The formulation typically contains permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a potent neurotoxin to parasites by binding to voltage-gated sodium channels and slowing their inactivation, leading to prolonged depolarization, paralysis, and death of the organism. It also contains cetrimide, a quaternary ammonium compound that functions as an antiseptic and surfactant, aiding in the cleansing of the skin and potentially enhancing the penetration of the active scabicide. Methlice-CT is distributed as a commercial generic product within the Indian pharmaceutical market.
