Methrin Bar, containing the active ingredient permethrin, is a medicated soap used to treat scabies and head lice infestations. It works by paralyzing and killing mites and lice, as well as their eggs, through disrupting their nerve function. It’s an anti-parasitic agent, and while generally safe, it’s recommended to consult a doctor before use, especially for children under 2 months, and to avoid contact with eyes.
