Lindane is a scabicide that is essentially an organochloride insecticide. Lindane is an organochloride insecticide that has similar neurotoxic protperties to DDT. It exerts its parasiticidal action by being directly absorbed through the parasite's exoskeleton (primarily lice, or scabies) and their ova.In aqueous solution, cetrimide dissociates to a biologically-active cation and an inactive anion. Cetrimide is inactive towards bacterial spores, it is effective against some viruses and has variable anti-fungal activity. The cation is also responsible for the surfactant activity.
