• Scabies is a skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, leading to intense itching and irritation. BIOMETHRIN OINTMENT 30 GM is an anti-parasitic medication specifically designed to combat these mites. It works by effectively paralyzing and eliminating both the mites and their eggs, thus breaking the cycle of infestation. For optimal results, it's generally recommended to apply the cream to the entire body, excluding the face and head, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider. Adhering to your doctor's specific instructions is crucial for successful treatment.
• Typically, the ointment should remain on the skin for a period of 8 to 12 hours before being thoroughly washed off. In many cases, a single application is sufficient to completely eradicate the scabies infestation. However, depending on the severity of the condition or individual response to the medication, a second application may be necessary, usually about a week after the initial treatment. This follow-up application ensures that any remaining mites or newly hatched eggs are eliminated.
• BIOMETHRIN OINTMENT 30 GM effectively alleviates the uncomfortable symptoms associated with scabies, such as itching, swelling, and redness. By targeting the root cause of the problem – the mites – it provides relief and promotes healing of the affected skin. It's important to note that even after the mites are dead, you may continue to experience itching for some time. This is a normal reaction as the body clears away the dead mites and heals the irritated skin. If the itching persists or becomes severe, consult your doctor for further guidance.

• BIOMETHRIN OINTMENT 30 GM is designed for external use only. It's crucial to adhere to your doctor's prescribed dosage and treatment duration for optimal results. Before application, carefully examine the product label for detailed instructions and precautions.
• Begin by thoroughly cleaning and drying the affected skin area. Gently apply a thin layer of BIOMETHRIN OINTMENT 30 GM to the area, ensuring complete coverage. Avoid applying the ointment to broken or irritated skin unless specifically directed by your healthcare provider.
• To prevent accidental ingestion or spread of the medication, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after application. If your hands are the area being treated, do not wash them after applying the ointment. Be sure to keep the treated area clean and dry to promote healing. If irritation develops, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
• Store in cool and dry place.
