How Nt-scab 1/0.1 % Lotion 100 ML Works?

Nt-scab 1/0.1 % Lotion 100 ML contains two active ingredients:

Cetrimide (0.1%): An antiseptic agent, cetrimide works by killing disease-causing bacteria, often associated with scabies and lice infestations. It does this by disrupting their cell membranes, which leads to bacterial death.
Lindane (1%): Classified as an organochlorine insecticide, lindane kills insects like mites and lice directly by damaging their nervous systems. It gets absorbed into these parasites and causes irreversible damage, leading to their eventual death.
