Scabizine 1% Lotion

Scabizine 1% Lotion is used in the treatment of Scabies and Pediculosis. The detailed uses of Scabizine 1% Lotion are as follows:

• Scabies: Scabizine 1% Lotion kills Sarcoptes scabiei mites and their eggs by penetrating the skin and disrupting their nervous system.
• Head Lice (Pediculosis): Scabizine 1% Lotion eliminates lice and nits when applied to the scalp and hair.

Scabizine 1% Lotion is an antiparasitic drug used to treat scabies (a skin infection) and pediculosis (lice infestation). Scabizine 1% Lotion kills scabies mites and their eggs by going through the skin. Scabizine 1% Lotion in shampoo form is used to treat head lice. Scabizine 1% Lotion is used to treat scabies and pediculosis in patients for whom other medicines did not work or cannot be given other safer medicines.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• For Scabies: Apply a thin layer of 1% topical preparation to all skin surfaces, from the neck to the toes, if you have scabies. After 8 to 12 hours, thoroughly wash the substance off the body with warm water.
• For Pediculosis: Apply 30 to 60 ml of 1% shampoo to dry hair for pediculosis. The amount needed for most patients will be 30 ml (up to 60 ml), depending on the length of their hair. Massage into hair for 4 minutes, then add a little water at a time to create a lather. Right away, rinse thoroughly until no more suds are visible. Use a fine-toothed comb to comb the hair after it has dried. Most of the time, a single treatment is adequate; if not, another pediculicide may be used in a week.
• Do not apply to broken or severely irritated skin. Keep away from your eyes. Avoid contact with eyes.

• Limit dairy intake such as milk, curd, and cheese as they may trigger skin irritation.
• Avoid hot showers or hot water to bathe to prevent worsening of the condition.
• Wash the clothes and bedsheets with soap and hot water or dry clean them after every use.
• Avoid sharing personal belongings such as combs, towels, razors, clothes, or bedding with others as it may increase the risk of transmission.
• Do not have close physical contact or sex until the treatment is completed.

Do not use Scabizine 1% Lotion in premature infants due to the increased risk of skin permeability. If you have uncontrolled fits, inform your doctor before using Scabizine 1% Lotion. It may be absorbed by the whole body and cause central nervous system toxicity resulting in disorientation, dizziness, and fits. You are advised to wash Scabizine 1% Lotion from the body completely after 8-12 hours using warm water as leaving it on the skin for a prolonged time may lead to fatal effects. There may be skin itching for a few weeks even after using Scabizine 1% Lotion. However, if the itching worsens, please consult a doctor.  Do not use Scabizine 1% Lotion to treat the second attack of scabies that comes immediately after the first episode as using it more than one time can lead to fatal effects.
