Question 1

What to do if you swallow or get Derbac M liquid in your eyes?

If the liquid enters the eyes, wash with plenty of water. If swallowed, contact your doctor or pharmacist right away.

Question 2

How long does it take to work?

Accepted Answer

Derbac M liquid starts working instantly but may take a bit of time to be fully effective and kill the parasites completely. It depends on what you're treating—lice or scabies. For head lice, you leave it on for about 12 hours, and for scabies, it's usually 24 hours.

After that, wash it off with soap and warm water. The itching may not go away right away, but over time, it should help get rid of the problem. If you're unsure or worried, ask a doctor for advice.

Is permethrin better than malathion or Derbac M liquid?
