Ascabiol
Product Overview
Ascabiol is a topical medication containing Gamma Benzene Hexachloride as its active ingredient. This scabicide and pediculicide treatment effectively combats infestations of scabies mites, head lice, and pubic lice. The medication paralyzes and kills parasites by disrupting their nervous system. Available in lotion or cream formulations, Ascabiol is designed for external application only.
Uses
This medication is indicated for:
- Eradicating scabies mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) that cause intense itching and skin rashes
- Treating head lice (Pediculus capitis) infestations on the scalp
- Eliminating pubic lice (Pthirus pubis) in the genital area
Ascabiol provides rapid relief from symptoms while preventing the spread of these highly contagious parasitic infections.
How to Use
- Clean and dry affected areas thoroughly before application
- Apply a thin layer of lotion/cream from neck downward for scabies
- For head lice: massage into scalp and hair, leave for prescribed duration
- Pay special attention to skin folds, between fingers/toes, and other parasite-prone areas
- Rinse off completely after recommended exposure time
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions or product labeling for optimal results.
How it Works
Gamma Benzene Hexachloride in Ascabiol penetrates parasites’ exoskeletons, attacking their nervous systems. This neurotoxic action causes:
- Immediate paralysis of adult parasites
- Destruction of eggs (nits)
- Complete eradication of the infestation
The medication’s dual action against both mature parasites and their eggs prevents reinfestation.
