Overview Zeothrin 5% Lotion
Scabicidal lotion, Zeothrin 5%, effectively eliminates scabies mites and their eggs. Scabies is a skin infestation causing intense irritation. Dosage and application instructions are provided by your physician and within the product packaging; ensure careful adherence. Apply to clean, dry, cool skin. A full body wash 8-14 hours post-application is crucial. While typically a single application suffices, a second application may be necessary after at least 7 days. Post-treatment itching, often lasting several weeks, usually stems from an allergic reaction to dead mites, not treatment failure. Minor burning, stinging, or tingling at the application site are common, generally mild, and not universally experienced. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, allergies (medications, foods, or other substances), or asthma before use. Consult your physician regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, despite generally safe usage.
