Scarab Lotion is usually utilised to manage scabies, a condition that causes intense itching due to tiny mites burrowing into your skin. This lotion is a combination medicine and belongs to the class of topical antiparasitic and antibacterial medications.

In addition to its primary use, it can help control the bacterial infections that often accompany scabies due to persistent scratching. It is especially helpful for adults and children who have not responded well or are unable to tolerate other first-line treatments like permethrin cream.

Before you start using this lotion, it's crucial to consult your doctor who will guide you on the correct dosage and frequency of application. Make sure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications. If any side effects are observed, notify your doctor immediately. Continue using the lotion for the duration suggested by your doctor for best results.

Directions for Use of Scarab Lotion 100ml

To use Scarab Lotion correctly, follow these steps:

Shake well before use.
Begin by ensuring the skin area is clean and dry.
Apply a thin layer of the lotion to all skin areas from your neck down.
Massage gently into your skin.
Leave it on for about 8-12 hours, usually overnight.
After that, wash it off completely with warm water.
Remember, you should only apply this lotion once unless your doctor instructs otherwise.

Scarab Lotion is applied topically.

Scarab Lotion may have the following common side effects:

Skin irritation: This could involve redness, itching, or a burning sensation on your skin.
Swelling: The affected area of skin might become puffy or larger than usual.
Dryness: Your skin might feel parched, flaky, or rough after using Scarab Lotion.
Restlessness: You might feel uneasy and unable to relax or sit still.
Unsteadiness: You may experience a slight loss of balance or difficulty controlling your movements.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Scarab Lotion. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin irritation: Applying Scarab Lotion after a cool shower might lessen this effect.
Dryness: You could consider applying a moisturiser half an hour after using Scarab Lotion to help with dryness.

Scarab Lotion is a combination medicine with two active ingredients:

Lindane (1%): This is an organochlorine insecticide that works directly on scabies mites and their eggs buried in your skin. It disrupts the nervous system of these mites, leading to their paralysis and eventual death.
Cetrimide (0.1%): Known for its antibacterial properties, cetrimide helps by preventing and controlling bacterial infections that might occur due to constant scratching of the affected area. This aids in reducing the discomfort and health risks associated with scabies.

Pregnancy

Scarab Lotion is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, ensure to consult your doctor before using this lotion.

Breastfeeding

This lotion is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. It's recommended to discuss with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

Alcohol consumption should be avoided while using Scarab Lotion, as it may increase the risk of central nervous system depression.

Kidney

Using Machines & Driving

This lotion may cause dizziness or other neurological symptoms. Therefore, operating heavy machinery or driving should be avoided until you know how it affects you.

Children

Scarab Lotion should be used with caution in children under 10 years of age. Always consult your doctor before applying this lotion on a child's skin.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Skin Conditions: Individuals with open sores, crusted or weeping lesions, or denuded skin should be wary as Scarab Lotion could potentially exacerbate their conditions.
Seizure Disorders: Patients with uncontrolled seizures or known seizure disorders should be cautious when using Scarab Lotion as it may increase the risk of seizures.

Daily Dose

Your doctor will prescribe the precise daily dose of Scarab Lotion, taking into account factors like the severity of your condition and your response to treatment.

Over Dose

Applying too much Scarab Lotion may lead to skin irritation, restlessness, or dizziness. If you notice any such symptoms after using excessive lotion, please inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Scarab Lotion on time, do it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one.

Store Scarab Lotion in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature (around 25 degrees Celsius).
Keep the bottle tightly sealed to prevent exposure to air and moisture.
Make sure to keep it out of sight and reach of children.

Since scabies is a contagious skin condition, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial. Regularly washing your clothes, bedding, and towels can help you manage the condition better.
Besides, a healthy diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E can support skin health. These nutrients can be found in foods like carrots, oranges, almonds, spinach, and sweet potatoes.
