Scabion Cream 20gm

Scabion Cream 20gm contains Permethrin 20g, an anti-parasite cream and lotion. Made by Atco Laboratories Ltd, it is used for scabies and head lice. Pack size: 20 gm.

Uses of Scabion Cream 20gm

Scabion Cream 20gm is used to treat scabies, an intensely itchy skin infestation caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, and is usually applied as a cream. A lotion or rinse form is used to treat head lice. Because scabies spreads easily through close contact, everyone in the household usually needs treating at the same time, even if they have no symptoms yet.

How Scabion Cream 20gm works

Permethrin is an insecticide that acts on the nerves of mites and lice, disrupting their nerve signals so they become paralysed and die. Very little is absorbed through human skin, and what is absorbed is broken down quickly.

Possible side effects

Most people use Scabion Cream 20gm without problems. Mild skin effects can include:

• Itching or mild burning
• Stinging or tingling
• Redness of the skin
• Dry skin or a mild rash

Itching can continue for a few weeks after successful scabies treatment; see a doctor if new burrows appear, the skin becomes infected, or you have signs of an allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Treat all household members and close contacts at the same time, even if they have no itching, to stop reinfection.
• Follow the pack instructions on how to apply it and how long to leave it on, and repeat treatment only if advised.
• Wash bedding, towels and clothing in hot water on the day of treatment.
• Keep it away from the eyes, mouth and broken skin, and ask a doctor before using it on babies.
• Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
