ASCABIOL LOTION 120 ML

How ASCABIOL LOTION 120 ML Works

• Lindane (gamma benzene hexachloride) is absorbed through the outer covering of the scabies mite and lice. It over-stimulates their nervous system, causing paralysis and death of the parasites and their eggs.
• Cetrimide is a mild antiseptic that helps cleanse the skin surface where the medicine is applied.
• Because lindane is a neurotoxic agent, it can also affect the human nervous system if too much is absorbed, which is why it is applied thinly, for a short time, and usually as a single application under a doctor's advice.

Most side effects are related to the skin and are mild. Rinse off and contact your doctor if you notice severe irritation or any nervous-system symptoms.

• Skin irritation, burning or stinging
• Itching
• Dryness or redness of the skin
• Rash
• Dizziness or headache (if too much is absorbed)
• In rare cases with overuse: muscle twitching or seizures

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

• Keep ASCABIOL LOTION 120ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store ASCABIOL LOTION 120ML at room temperature.

• Understand Scabies and Ascabiol: Ascabiol Lotion is specifically designed to treat scabies, a skin condition caused by tiny mites. It works by killing these mites and their eggs.
• Scabies is highly contagious and often spreads through close physical contact. Knowing how Ascabiol works helps you use it effectively.
• Proper Application is Key: Apply Ascabiol Lotion to all areas of the body from the neck down, paying close attention to folds and creases like between fingers and toes, underarms, and groin area.
• Mites can burrow anywhere, so a complete application ensures you target all affected areas. Don't forget areas like under the nails, where mites can hide.
• Leave it On for the Recommended Time: Typically, Ascabiol is left on the skin for 8-12 hours, or as directed by your doctor. Adhering to the recommended duration is crucial for the medication to work properly.
• Setting a timer can help you remember when to wash it off. Avoid showering or bathing during this period, as it can reduce the medication's effectiveness.
• Treat Everyone in Close Contact: Scabies is highly contagious. Treat all household members and close contacts simultaneously, even if they don't show symptoms. This prevents re-infestation.
• Inform anyone you've had close contact with recently so they can seek treatment if needed. Wash all clothing and bedding in hot water to eliminate mites.
• What to Expect After Treatment: Itching may continue for a week or two after treatment, even if the mites are dead. This is due to an allergic reaction to the dead mites under the skin. If itching persists beyond two weeks or worsens, consult your doctor.
• Calamine lotion or antihistamines can help relieve post-treatment itching. Avoid scratching, as it can lead to skin infections.
• Hygiene Practices are Important: After treatment, thoroughly wash all clothing, bedding, and towels in hot water and dry them on high heat, or dry clean them. Items that cannot be washed should be sealed in a plastic bag for at least 72 hours.
• This prevents re-infestation from mites that may have fallen off the body onto these items.

• ASCABIOL LOTION 120 ML is for external use and unlikely to interact with food. However, it is important to maintain good hygiene practices during treatment. Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the lotion and avoid direct contact between the treated areas and food preparation surfaces.
