Megascab Lotion 100ml is primarily used to manage scabies, an infectious skin condition caused by microscopic mites. This combination medicine belongs to a class of topical antiseptic and insecticidal medications.

Besides scabies, this lotion is also useful in managing other parasitic infestations such as pediculosis, an infestation of the scalp by lice eggs, larvae, or adults, and lice that live on the scalp, pubic area, or other hairy parts of the body.

It's important to apply this medicine as directed by your doctor. Before you start using this lotion, inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you observe any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor at once. Make sure to continue the application for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Megascab Lotion 100ml is used for managing:

Scabies, a contagious skin condition causing severe itching due to mites
Pediculosis, an infestation of lice eggs, larvae, or adults on the scalp
Lice infestations on various body parts with substantial hair

Administer Megascab Lotion 100ml as follows:

Shake well before use.
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after application.
Apply the prescribed amount of lotion to cover the affected areas.
Let the lotion stay on your skin for 8 to 12 hours.

While using Megascab Lotion 100ml, you may experience the following side effects:

Tingling sensation on the skin: This refers to a feeling of pins and needles on your skin.
Itching
Burning sensation
Skin rashes

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Megascab Lotion 100ml. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are a couple of tips to manage common minor side effects:

Tingling sensation: Try applying Megascab Lotion 100ml at bedtime if it causes a tingling sensation during the day.
Itching: Applying a cold pack or cool wet cloth to the affected area can help soothe itching.

Megascab Lotion 100ml contains two active ingredients:

Cetrimide (0.1%): An antiseptic agent, cetrimide works by killing disease-causing bacteria, often associated with scabies and lice infestations. It does this by disrupting their cell membranes, which leads to bacterial death.
Lindane (1%): Classified as an organochlorine insecticide, lindane kills insects like mites and lice directly by damaging their nervous systems. It gets absorbed into these parasites and causes irreversible damage, leading to their eventual death.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Megascab Lotion 100ml if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Megascab Lotion 100ml may pass through your breast milk to your child. It is recommended to pump and discard milk for 24 hours after applying this medicine. Consult your doctor for more information.

Alcohol

Always consult your doctor about alcohol consumption when using Megascab Lotion 100ml.

Liver

If you have a liver condition, especially cirrhosis, use Megascab Lotion 100ml cautiously. Discuss your liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

If you have kidney problems, consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Megascab Lotion 100ml is a topical medication and does not influence your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Store Megascab Lotion 100ml at room temperature.
Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of its active ingredients.
Avoid exposing the lotion to excessive moisture.
Remember to keep Megascab Lotion 100ml out of the reach of children.
