4.4   Special warnings and precautions for use

In the case of hypersensitivity to chrysanthemums or other compositae, treatment should only be given if strictly indicated.

When using Lyclear Dermal Cream, care should be taken not to allow the cream to get into the eyes or come into contact with mucous membranes (e.g. nasopharyngeal space, genital area) or open wounds.

If skin irritation occurs and does not improve, patients should consult a doctor.

Paediatric population
Only limited experience is available with Lyclear Dermal Cream in children aged 2 months to 23 months. Therefore treatment must be given only under close medical supervision in this age group.

For cutaneous use only.

Lyclear Dermal Cream is for external use only and should be kept out of the sight and reach of children.

Permethrin is not an eye irritant, but contact of Lyclear Dermal Cream with the eyes should be avoided because other components of the product can cause marked irritation. In the event of inadvertent eye contamination, the affected area should be rinsed immediately with plenty of water or, if readily available, normal saline.

In the event of accidental ingestion of permethrin, please seek immediate medical attention.

It is important to ensure that the course of treatment is followed as directed because treatment failure has been reported when this has not occurred.

Nursing staff who routinely apply Lyclear Dermal Cream may wish to wear gloves to avoid any possible irritation to the hands.

Direct contacts should be treated. If no improvement occurs consult the doctor. Pyrethrins are used as an agricultural and horticultural insecticide, the potential for sensitisation through this route should be kept in mind.

Elderly patients
There is an increasing body of data specifically relating to the use of Lyclear Dermal Cream for the treatment of scabies in the elderly, and in view of these data it is considered that there is no need for any special precautions for use in this age group.

Excipients – Important Information
Note: The excipient of the cream, liquid paraffin, can reduce the functioning and hence the reliability of latex products (e.g. condoms, diaphragms) used at the same time.

Lyclear Dermal Cream contains formaldehyde which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis).

Lyclear Dermal Cream contains butylated hydroxytoluene (E321) which may cause local skin reactions (e.g. contact dermatitis), or irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes.
