Permethrin other names?

What are the other names (trade names and synonyms) for permethrin?

Permethrin is the active ingredient used in a range of insecticide products, so it often appears under different brand names and sometimes as different “form” descriptors (for example, scabies/louse treatments versus agricultural insecticides).

Common “other names” you may see include:
- Brand/trade names (varies by country and formulation)
- Synonyms used in labeling such as synthetic pyrethroid insecticide
- Chemical isomer phrasing, depending on the product (for example, formulations described by their cis/trans mixture or “technical” versus more specific compositions)

Why does permethrin show up under different names?

Different products use permethrin in different forms and markets:
- Medical vs. pesticide formulations: products for head lice/scabies are typically labeled differently than agricultural insecticides.
- Different companies/brands: the same active ingredient can be marketed under many trade names.
- Formulation and strength differences: creams, lotions, sprays, and concentrates may carry different product names even though the active ingredient is permethrin.

Quick way to find the exact “other names” for the product you mean

If you tell me the country and whether you mean lice/scabies treatment or a garden/pest control product (and ideally the label picture text or active ingredient line), I can narrow it down to the specific listed synonyms and brand names used there.
