About Scaboma Lotion

Scaboma Lotion belongs to a class of antiparasitic drugs known as ‘scabicides’ (kills scabies mites) and pediculicides (kills lice). Scaboma Lotion primarily treats scabies in people for whom other medicines did not work. Scaboma Lotion is available usually in the topical form used to treat head lice. Scabies is a skin condition caused by mites known as Sarcoptes scabiei. It causes an itchy skin rash and is contagious (spreads from one person to another person).

Scaboma Lotion contains Lindane which works by killing scabies mites and their eggs by penetrating through the skin. Scaboma Lotion is used to kill mites but does not prevent scabies or recurring symptoms.

Scaboma Lotion is only for external use. Do not put Scaboma Lotion in your mouth. In case of accentual swallowing or contact with the mouth, contact the poison control center immediately as it may be poisonous if taken by mouth.
