Effect on the Body
- Gamma Benzene Hexachloride (Lindane): Insecticidal Action: Lindane is an organochlorine compound that acts as an insecticide. It kills scabies mites and lice by interfering with their nervous systems, leading to paralysis and death of the parasites.
- Penetration: It is absorbed into the skin and hair follicles where the mites and lice reside, ensuring effective treatment.
- Cetrimide: Antiseptic Action: Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium antiseptic. It helps to clean the skin and prevent secondary bacterial infections that can occur with scabies and lice infestations.
- Soothing Effect: Cetrimide has mild soothing properties that can help reduce itching and irritation associated with infestations.
How to Use
- Preparation: Ensure that the skin is clean and dry before application.
- Application for Scabies: Apply a thin layer of the lotion to the entire body from the neck down. Leave the lotion on for the duration specified by your healthcare provider, usually 8-12 hours, before washing it off thoroughly with soap and water.
- Application for Lice: Apply the lotion to dry hair and scalp, ensuring that all hair and the scalp are thoroughly covered.
