About Scabovate Soap
Scabovate Soap is an antiparasite drug used to treat infections caused by eggs, lice, and mites. It is mainly used in the treatment of pediculosis and scabies. Pediculosis is the infestation of lice in the hairy parts of the body, especially the scalp. Scabies is a skin infection caused by mites. It is contagious and spreads from one person to another with physical contact.
Scabovate Soap contains Permethrin, which works by killing the small insects (mites) and their eggs that cause scabies. It also destroys head lice, which stick to your scalp and cause irritation.
Scabovate Soap is exclusively for external use only. Some people may experience side effects such as redness, rash, burning sensation, and itching. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, consult the doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
Do not use Scabovate Soap if you are allergic to Permethrin, chrysanthemums, or any component present in Scabovate Soap. Children below six years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers should consult a doctor before using Permethrin. The infected area should be kept clean and dry before applying the medicine.

Key Benefits
Scabovate Soap is used to treat pediculosis and scabies. It targets eggs, lice, and mites. Scabovate Soap releases chemicals known as pyrethrins, which act on the nervous system. It inactivates the nerve membrane and paralyses the insects, eventually killing them. It can also kill the nits and eggs of the insect.
