ASCABIOL EMULSION is a topical medicine used for the treatment of Scabies and head lice. It contains a combination of Lindane (1% w/v) and Cetrimide (0.1% w/v), which work together to eliminate parasites and soothe the skin.

Lindane acts by paralyzing and killing mites and lice along with their eggs, while Cetrimide helps prevent secondary infections and provides a soothing effect on irritated skin. This helps reduce itching, redness, and swelling caused by infestation.

ASCABIOL EMULSION should be applied as directed by your doctor. It is usually applied to the affected skin and left for a specific duration before washing off. Proper hygiene practices, such as washing clothes and bedding, are important to prevent reinfection.

Side effects are generally mild and may include skin irritation, dryness, or itching. Consult your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen. This medicine should be used with caution in children, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and people with certain skin conditions.
