Overview Scabigard-P Lotion
Permethrin lotion, such as Scabigard-P, is a medication that eliminates parasitic mites. It's prescribed for scabies, a skin infestation causing intense irritation. This treatment eradicates both adult mites and their eggs. Your physician will provide application instructions and dosage. Carefully review the accompanying patient leaflet for correct usage. Apply to clean, dry, and cool skin. A thorough body wash is necessary 8-14 hours post-application. Typically, one application suffices; however, if a second treatment is required, a 7-day interval is necessary. Post-treatment itching, persisting for several weeks, often stems from an allergic reaction to dead mites, not treatment failure. Minor burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site are common, though mild and not universally experienced. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, allergies (medications, food, or other substances), or asthma before use. While generally safe, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor before using this medication.
