Your doctor will explain how to use Scabigo Lotion and how much you need. Read the instructions that come with the medicine to make sure you use it correctly. Your skin should be clean, dry, and cool before using it. Your whole body should be washed thoroughly 8-14 hours after you have used this medicine. Most people only need to use it once to treat their condition but, if a second application is needed, wait at least 7 days. Sometimes itching may last for a few weeks after treating scabies. This is probably an allergic reaction to dead mites and not a sign that the treatment has failed.


The most common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or tingling where the medicine is applied. Most side effects are usually mild and not everyone gets them.


Before using it, let your doctor know if you have any skin conditions or allergies to medicines, food, or other substances, or if you have asthma. Though this medicine is generally thought to be safe, you should ask for your doctor’s advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.


Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Scabigo Lotion is an antiparasitic medication. It works by killing the tiny insects (mites) and their eggs, which cause scabies. It also kills head lice which attach to your scalp and irritate it.

Pharmacokinets

The two routes of exposure most relevant to evaluating permethrin toxicity from military uniforms are the oral and dermal routes. Consideration of oral absorption of permethrin in animals is necessary to estimate the absorbed dose in carcinogenicity studies, which were conducted by oral gavage. Dermal exposure, in contrast, is the most likely route of exposure to military personnel wearing uniforms impregnated with permethrin.

Side Effects

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
