Product Overview
Scabiheal Lotion is a medicated formulation containing Gamma Benzene Hexachloride and Cetrimide as active ingredients. Specifically designed to combat scabies and associated dermatological conditions, this lotion provides an effective treatment for parasitic skin infestations.
Therapeutic Applications
This medication is principally indicated for the treatment of scabies, a contagious skin infestation caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. It also demonstrates efficacy in managing other cutaneous infections and irritations where its active components are therapeutically beneficial.
Mechanism of Action
Gamma Benzene Hexachloride exhibits both pediculicidal and scabicidal properties, effectively eliminating Sarcoptes scabiei mites and their ova to resolve the parasitic infestation. Cetrimide complements this action by serving as an antimicrobial agent, cleansing the affected skin and preventing secondary bacterial infections that may result from scratching.
