MECHANISM OF ACTION: SCABISIN is an organochloride insecticide that exerts its parasiticidal effect by being directly absorbed into the parasite (primarily lice or scabies) and their ova. Blockage of the GABA-gated chloride channel reduces neuronal inhibition, which leads to hyperexcitation of the central nervous system, resulting in convulsions and death. INDICATIONS: For the treatment of infestations with scabies (itch), head lice (pediculosis capitis), crab lice (Phthirus pubis). CONTRAINDICATIONS: Very young infants, patients with extensively excoriated skin, patients hypersensitive to gamma benzene hexachloride. SIDE EFFECTS: Burning sensations, itching, dryness and rash. WARNING: Total body application can be dangerous. It should be used with caution, especially in children. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: SCABIES (ITCH): Apply SCABISIN over the affected area of the body. Leave the application for 12 hours (or overnight) and take a bath. Repeat the treatment 3-4 times at an interval of 24 hours. SCABISIN should not enter the mouth or eyes. PEDICULOSIS: Apply SCABISIN well into the hair. Leave the application for at least 24 hours. Wash the medication with shampoo and water. Generally, a single application serves the purpose but in some cases treatment has to be repeated one more time. PRECAUTIONS: Do not apply to broken skin and excessively raw areas. Avoid contact with eyes. STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry and dark place. PRESENTATION: 100ml bottle FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY
