Scabozen Lotion belongs to the group of topical medications used to treat scabies. It is also used to kill head lice. Scabies is a contagious and itchy skin condition caused by tiny mites that form burrows in the skin and produce severe itching.

Scabozen Lotion is composed of Lindane and Cetrimide. Scabozen Lotion is an insecticide mixture that helps in killing the pathogens that cause scabies and is also used to kill head/pubic lice and their eggs by causing paralysis of the causative micro-organisms.

In some cases, Scabozen Lotion may cause specific, very occasional side effects, such as itching, temporary stinging or redness, and dry skin. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your physician if you experience these side effects consistently.

Inform the physician if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor of any history or presence of crusted scabies, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Consult your doctor before using Scabozen Lotion if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Scabozen Lotion is a skin medicine that has antiparasitic properties. It contains Lindane and Cetrimide. Scabozen Lotion is used to relieve the pain, discomfort and itchiness caused by skin infections such as scabies. Lindane shows insecticidal (insect-killing) properties. It exerts a neurotoxic effect on the nerve cells of the causative organism and causes paralysis and death of the insect and its eggs. Cetrimide functions as an antiseptic by virtue of its bactericidal and insecticidal nature. It also exhibits detergent and emulsifying qualities that enhance its surface action, thereby relieving itching, redness, inflammation, and irritation of the skin. Scabozen Lotion is hence used to treat surface-level itches and superficial infections.

Scabozen Lotion should not be used in case of any known allergy to either of the components. Discuss your medical history with your physician and inform them of any history of seizures, epilepsy, alcoholism, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, crusted scabies, liver disease or HIV. Inform the physician about your weight and also your previous history of use of Scabozen Lotion. Scabozen Lotion should be used with caution in those weighing less than 50 kg. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant and breastfeeding.
