How should Elimite be used?
Elimite comes in a cream and liquid (cream rinse) to use externally. Usually, one application of Elimite completely eliminates the parasites. However, the treatment may need to be repeated after 1 week; call your doctor if signs of infestation (live parasites) reappear. Follow the directions on the package or on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use Elimite exactly as directed. Do not use more or less of it or use it more often than directed by your doctor. Wear rubber gloves when applying it if you have open cuts or scratches on your hands. If Elimite accidentally gets in your eyes, rinse them thoroughly with water for at least 5 minutes. If you are to use the liquid, follow these steps: Shampoo your hair using your regular shampoo. Thoroughly rinse and towel dry your hair and scalp. Allow your hair to air dry for a few minutes. Do not stand (or sit) in a shower or bathtub; lean over a sink to apply Elimite
