Scabdol Lotion

Uses of Scabdol Lotion

Treatment of scabies and relief of associated itching (pruritus); may also be used for pediculosis (lice) if prescribed.

Key benefits

• Kills scabies mites
• Helps stop spread of scabies
• Relieves itching and irritation
• Helps clear scabies-related rash

How Scabdol Lotion works

Scabicides kill the scabies mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) and its eggs/larvae, breaking the infestation cycle. This reduces skin inflammation and helps relieve itching over time.

How to take Scabdol Lotion

For external use only. Apply as directed by a doctor—typically apply a thin layer over the entire body from neck to toes (including skin folds) on clean, dry skin; leave on for the prescribed duration and then wash off. Treat close contacts if advised; wash/heat-dry clothes, bedding and towels. Avoid eyes, mouth and broken/irritated skin unless advised.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Scabdol as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Scabdol than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.

Side effects of Scabdol Lotion

Most side effects of Scabdol are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Burning or stinging
• itching
• redness

• skin irritation
• rash

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Safety advice for Scabdol Lotion

Warnings and precautions

Use only on skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes; rinse with water if contact occurs. Do not apply on severely inflamed, broken or oozing skin unless advised. Itching may persist for days to weeks after successful scabies treatment; do not overuse. Seek medical advice for infants, pregnant/breastfeeding women, extensive skin disease, or if symptoms persist/worsen. Stop and seek care if severe allergy (swelling, severe rash, breathing difficulty) occurs.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant systemic drug interactions expected with topical scabicides when used as directed; avoid combining with other irritating topical products (strong soaps, alcohol-based lotions, topical steroids) unless prescribed.
