Composition

Scaboma Lotion is primarily used to manage scabies, a skin condition associated with severe itching, and lice infestations. Part of the antiparasitic medications category, it is designed to combat parasites causing these conditions.

In addition to managing scabies, this lotion is also utilised to control pediculosis, an infestation of lice that can affect various parts of the body. It is particularly effective against head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis), body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis), and pubic lice (Phthirus pubis).

It's important that you use this lotion as directed by your doctor. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines you might be taking. If you experience any side effects while using this lotion, let your doctor know right away. Make sure you continue using the lotion for the full course prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Scaboma Lotion is used for the following:

Managing the condition of scabies, caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite.
Dealing with pediculosis, an infestation of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis).
Controlling body lice (Pediculus humanus corporis) infestation.
Addressing pubic lice (Phthirus pubis) infestation.

Directions for Use of Scaboma Lotion 100ml

Ensure you use Scaboma Lotion as per the following instructions:

Shake well before use.
Start by cleaning and drying your skin.
Apply a thin layer of the lotion on your body, starting from the neck down. Make sure you cover creases, folds, and spaces between your fingers.
Use a soft brush to apply the lotion under your fingernails.
Leave it on your skin for 8-12 hours or overnight before washing it off thoroughly.
For advice on specific use and dosage, do consult your doctor.

Scaboma Lotion is applied topically.

While using Scaboma Lotion, you might experience some side effects including:

Itching
Burning or stinging sensation
Redness
Dryness or rash at the application site

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Scaboma Lotion . However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of tips to manage some of these side effects:

Pruritus: If your skin feels itchy after applying the lotion, try to distract yourself with other activities instead of scratching. Scratching can worsen the itchiness and cause skin damage.
Burning or stinging sensation: If you feel a burning or stinging sensation after applying this lotion, consider applying it before bedtime so that you can sleep through this discomfort.

Scaboma Lotion contains Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (1%). Here's how it works:

Acts as Neurotoxin: Gamma Benzene Hexachloride functions as a neurotoxin, disrupting the functioning of nerve cells in parasites.
Interferes with GABA Function: It interferes with the function of GABA neurotransmitters in the parasites' nervous system.
Induces Paralysis and Death: The disruption of GABA function leads to paralysis and death of mites and lice.
Penetrates Skin: Gamma Benzene Hexachloride penetrates the skin to kill parasites living in the outer layer of your skin, known as the epidermis.
