Scaboma Lotion is a prescription anti-parasitic medication used for the treatment of scabies (skin infection caused by mites) and pediculosis (lice infestation). Its active ingredient is Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (also known as Lindane) (1% w/v), which works by killing the mites and lice and their eggs.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (Lindane) 1% w/v.
- Mechanism of Action: The lotion kills parasites by disrupting their nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
- Uses: It is primarily used to treat infestations of Sarcoptes scabiei mites (scabies) and head, body, or pubic lice (pediculosis).
- Administration:
- For external use only.
- Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry skin from the neck down to the toes.
- Leave the lotion on the skin for 8 to 12 hours, then wash it off thoroughly with warm water.
- Only one application is usually needed, but a second application may be advised by a doctor after a week if necessary.
- Avoid using on broken or irritated skin and near the eyes, mouth, or nose.
- Wash hands thoroughly after application.
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
- Common Side Effects: May include dry skin, rash, itching, burning or pricking sensation, and hair loss. Itching may persist for a few weeks after treatment, which is normal and a reaction to dead mites.
- Serious Precautions:
- Prescription Only: Scaboma Lotion is a prescription medication and must be used under a doctor’s supervision.
- Do not use in excess: Using more than the prescribed amount or for longer than recommended can be harmful and may lead to seizures or central nervous system toxicity.
