Do not use LINDANE in premature infants due to increased risk of skin permeability. If you have uncontrolled fits, inform your doctor before using LINDANE as 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 LINDANE from the body completely after 8-12 hours using warm water as leaving it on the skin for a prolonged time may lead to fits and death.
