Uses of Scadex Lotion

Benefits of Scadex Lotion

Treatment of Scabies
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Scadex Lotion kills the mites and their eggs present on the skin. This gives relief from itching, swelling and redness. Scadex Lotion also helps kill head lice and their eggs, thereby giving you relief from itching and irritation caused by lice. It is normally effective in one or two applications however complete the course of treatment for better results.

Side effects of Scadex Lotion

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
Common side effects of Scadex
  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Scadex Lotion

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Shake it well and apply to the area evenly.

How Scadex Lotion works

Scadex Lotion is a combination of two medicines: cetrimide and gamma benzene hexachloride. Cetrimide kills certain bacteria and fungi by damaging their protective covering. Gamma benzene hexachloride causes paralysis in parasites (lice and mites) by getting absorbed into them and kills them and their eggs.

Quick tips

  • Make sure to thoroughly wash your hands before and after applying Scadex Lotion. 
  • Do not apply it on broken or crusted skin, or open skin sores. 
  • Do not let it get in contact with the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. Rinse with water if the drug accidentally gets in these areas. 
  • Do not use a large amount of Scadex Lotion or longer than prescribed, as it won’t deliver quick results and rather increase the risk of side effects.
  • Do not give it to other people with the same symptoms as yours, as it may worsen their condition.
