Skab Creamy Lotion 60ml

Skab Creamy Lotion is a topical medication containing Permethrin. It is used to treat scabies, a contagious skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin and cause intense itching and rash.

Uses:

• Skab Creamy Lotion is indicated for the treatment of scabies, including infestations of mites and their eggs.
• It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs, thereby alleviating symptoms and eliminating the infestation.

How It Works: Permethrin, the active ingredient in Skab Creamy Lotion, belongs to a class of medications known as pyrethroids. It acts on the nervous system of the mites, causing paralysis and eventually leading to their death. Additionally, Permethrin disrupts the development of mite eggs, preventing them from hatching and perpetuating the infestation.

Dosage:

• Thoroughly wash and dry the affected areas of the skin before applying Skab Creamy Lotion.
• Apply a sufficient amount of lotion to cover the entire body from the neck down, including all skin folds and creases.
• Leave the lotion on for the prescribed duration (usually 8 to 14 hours) before washing it off with warm water.
• Repeat the treatment after 7 to 10 days if necessary, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Precautions:

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes while applying Skab Creamy Lotion.
• Do not use on broken or inflamed skin unless directed by a healthcare professional.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Consult a healthcare provider before using Skab Creamy Lotion if pregnant, breastfeeding, or with any known allergies to Permethrin or other ingredients in the formulation.

Side Effects: Common side effects of Skab Creamy Lotion may include mild burning, stinging, or itching at the application site. These effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own. If any side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

When Not to Use:

• Do not use Skab Creamy Lotion if allergic to Permethrin or any other ingredients in the formulation.
• Avoid use on infants younger than 2 months old without consulting a healthcare provider.
