ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML

How ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML Works

• ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML is a topical medication primarily used to treat scabies, a skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Its effectiveness lies in the active ingredient, benzyl benzoate, which acts as a neurotoxin to these mites, effectively paralyzing and killing them. When applied to the skin, benzyl benzoate is absorbed by the mites, disrupting their nervous system function. This disruption leads to paralysis and subsequent death of the mites, thereby eradicating the infestation.
• The emulsion also contains emulsifiers and other ingredients that help to evenly distribute the benzyl benzoate across the skin's surface. This uniform coverage is crucial to ensure that all mites and their eggs are exposed to the active ingredient. By targeting both the mites and their eggs, ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML helps to prevent re-infestation and provides more comprehensive treatment.
• Moreover, the formulation includes ingredients that promote penetration of benzyl benzoate into the skin layers where the mites reside. Scabies mites burrow into the skin to lay their eggs, so effective treatment requires the medication to reach these areas. The enhanced penetration ensures that the benzyl benzoate can reach and eliminate the mites and eggs, providing relief from the itching and skin irritation associated with scabies.
• In addition to its direct effect on the mites, ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML also has some anti-inflammatory properties. While not its primary function, the reduction in inflammation can help to alleviate the itching and discomfort caused by the mites' activity and the body's immune response. This added benefit contributes to faster relief and improved patient comfort during treatment. It is important to note that proper application and adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen are crucial for the successful elimination of scabies with ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML.

Like all medicines, Ascabiol Emulsion can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. **Common Side Effects:** * Mild and temporary burning or stinging sensation on the skin * Itching (pruritus) * Dryness of the skin * Redness of the skin (erythema) **Uncommon Side Effects:** * Mild skin rash * Eczema **Rare Side Effects:** * Allergic reactions, such as hives (urticaria), swelling of the face, lips, or tongue (angioedema), or difficulty breathing. * In individuals with heavily infested scabies, a temporary increase in itching may occur at the beginning of treatment. This is usually a sign that the treatment is working and the mites are being killed. **If any of these side effects become severe or persistent, or if you notice any side effects not listed above, stop using Ascabiol Emulsion and consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.**

• If you forget to apply Ascabiol Emulsion at the usual time, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next application, skip the missed application and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed one.

• Keep ASCABIOL EMULSION 60ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ASCABIOL EMULSION 60ML at room temperature.

• **Complete the Full Course:** Even if your symptoms improve, it's crucial to finish the entire course of Ascabiol Emulsion as prescribed by your doctor. Stopping treatment prematurely can lead to the scabies mites becoming resistant, resulting in a recurrence of the infection and requiring further treatment. Adhering to the prescribed duration ensures complete eradication of the mites.
• **Treat All Household Members and Close Contacts:** Scabies is highly contagious. To prevent re-infestation, all members of your household and any close contacts should be treated simultaneously, even if they don't have any noticeable symptoms. This is essential to break the cycle of infection and ensure everyone is free from the mites.
• **Apply Ascabiol Correctly:** Before applying Ascabiol Emulsion, ensure your skin is clean, cool, and dry. Apply a thin layer of the emulsion to the entire body from the neck down to the toes, paying close attention to areas like between the fingers and toes, under the nails, in skin folds, and the genital area. Avoid getting the emulsion in your eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
• **Wash Clothing and Bedding Thoroughly:** After applying Ascabiol, wash all clothing, bedding, and towels used in the past three days in hot water (at least 60°C or 140°F) and dry them on high heat. Items that cannot be washed should be dry-cleaned or sealed in a plastic bag for at least 72 hours to kill any remaining mites. This is a crucial step in preventing re-infestation.
• **Manage Itch Effectively:** Itching is a common symptom of scabies and may persist for several weeks after treatment. To relieve itching, you can use calamine lotion or take antihistamines as directed by your doctor. Avoid scratching, as it can break the skin and lead to secondary bacterial infections. Keep your nails short and clean to minimize the risk of skin damage from scratching.

• ASCABIOL EMULSION 60 ML is for external use and is unlikely to interact with food. However, consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
