Scaboma Lotion 50 ml

Scaboma Lotion belongs to a class of medications called ‘antiparasitic drugs’ used to treat scabies and pediculosis. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. Pediculosis is the infestation of lice in the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp. These conditions are contagious and spread from one person to another with direct contact. Symptoms include rashes and persistent itching in the infected area, which worsens in the night-time.

Scaboma Lotion contains ‘Gamma benzene hexachloride’ (also called Lindane). It is an antiparasite and acts by killing mites and lice and their eggs by penetrating the skin. It is recommended to use only if you have scabies and pediculosis. Scaboma Lotion doesn't help to prevent these conditions.

Scaboma Lotion is only for external use. You should use Scaboma Lotion exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Scaboma Lotion may cause side effects such as dryness, rash, itching, or burning sensation in the treated area. Most of these side effects of Scaboma Lotion do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or get worse, please consult your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to use Scaboma Lotion if you are allergic to any of its contents. Scaboma Lotion should not be used for people who have had any seizure episodes (fits). Inform your doctor if you have. Before taking Scaboma Lotion, inform your doctor if you have AIDS/HIV or liver cirrhosis, alcoholism, history of head injury, spinal cord, or brain tumor. It is not recommended for premature babies, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and elderly people. It is not known whether the Scaboma Lotion can interact with alcohol. So, please consult your doctor. Scaboma Lotion may not affect your ability to drive.

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

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

• 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.

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

Do not use Scaboma Lotion in premature infants due to the increased risk of skin permeability. If you have uncontrolled fits, inform your doctor before using Scaboma 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 Scaboma 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 Scaboma Lotion. However, if the itching worsens, please consult a doctor.  Do not use Scaboma 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.
