Scaboma C Lotion is an anti-scabies medicine. Scabies is a skin condition that is caused by a mite. Scaboma C Lotion contains a combination of cetrimide and gamma benzene hexachloride as active substances. It is used for the treatment of scabies only in patients who cannot tolerate other medicines or who have failed treatment with other approved medicines. Do not use this medicine to treat any other skin conditions other than that prescribed by your doctor. Scaboma C Lotion is meant for external application only. Do not use more of the medicine or apply it more often than recommended. Particular care should be taken when using Scaboma C Lotion in infants, children, the elderly, individuals with other skin conditions like atopic dermatitis or psoriasis or those individuals who weigh less than 50 kg.
Scaboma C Lotion contains cetrimide and gamma benzene hexachloride as active substances.
Cetrimide is an antiseptic medicine that kills or stops the growth of microorganisms that cause scabies.
Gamma benzene hexachloride is an anti-parasitic medicine that gets directly absorbed into the parasites and their ova (mature female reproductive cell) and kills the scabies-causing parasite.
Possible pharmacokinetic interaction (increased percutaneous absorption of lindane). Avoid use of oil treatments or oil-based hair preparations immediately before or after applying lindane shampoo; lindane lotion should not be applied simultaneously with any other cream (e.g., conditioner), ointment, or oil. Cetrimide is a quaternary ammonium compound with surfactant and antiseptic properties. Chlorhexidine digluconate and cetrimide are poorly absorbed from the gastro- intestinal tract and skin. There is minimal systemic absorption of chlorhexidine and cetrimide following topical administration.
