Medical Description

Alscab skin emulsion is a topical medicine used to treat scabies and head lice infestations. It contains two active ingredients: cetrimide, an antiseptic and cleansing agent, and gamma benzene hexachloride (lindane), an ectoparasiticide that kills parasites.

Uses

  • Scabies
  • Head lice
  • Mite and lice infestations

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient in this medicine, do not use it. Do not use on broken or severely damaged skin (severe eczema, psoriasis, or extensive burns), as the medicine may absorb too quickly. Do not apply to the face, eyes, nose, or mouth unless specifically advised by your doctor. Avoid use if you have a history of seizures or epilepsy, as lindane can trigger convulsions in some people.

Side effects

  • Irritation
  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Burning

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

This medicine is not recommended for use during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary. Lindane may be absorbed through the skin. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or suspect pregnancy, and discuss risks and benefits.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

This medicine is not recommended for use while breastfeeding unless absolutely necessary. Consult your doctor before using if you are a nursing mother, as lindane may pass into breast milk.

Driving

Driving

This medicine is for external use only and is not expected to affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Alcohol

Alcohol

Alcohol use does not interact with this medicine when applied externally.

Directions for Use

For external use only, apply on healthy skin free from cuts and wounds. Bathe and dry the skin thoroughly before application. The skin should be cool before application. Apply a thin, even layer of Alscab skin emulsion over the entire affected body area (excluding face and head unless specifically advised). Leave the emulsion on for 8 to 12 hours (or as directed by your doctor). After the appropriate time, wash the entire body thoroughly with clean water. Generally, one application is sufficient for scabies; if a second application is needed, wait at least 7 days.

Storage and disposal

Store Alscab skin emulsion in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the container tightly closed. Store out of reach of children.

Quick Tips

  • Wash all clothing, bed linens, and towels used in the past 48 hours in hot water at 60 degrees Celsius or higher and dry on high heat
  • Seal non-washable items (stuffed toys, coats) in airtight plastic bags for at least two weeks
  • Treat all close household contacts and sexual partners at the same time, even if they show no symptoms
  • Keep fingernails trimmed short and clean to minimize scratching and secondary infections
  • Avoid scratching as much as possible during and after treatment

Dosage

Overdose

If you accidentally swallow this medicine, apply it over a very large area, or leave it on longer than recommended, seek immediate medical attention. Overdose may cause dizziness, seizures, or central nervous system symptoms. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

Since this medicine is applied as a single or occasional treatment rather than a regular daily dose, missing a dose typically means you have delayed the application. Apply it as soon as you remember, following your doctor's instructions. If it's almost time for the next application (if a second treatment was planned), skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not apply a double amount to compensate.

How does this medicine work?

Cetrimide disrupts the cell membranes of bacteria and microbes on the skin surface, providing cleansing and reducing infection risk in scratched areas. Gamma benzene hexachloride penetrates the outer shell of mites and lice, targeting their nervous system to cause rapid death. The combination provides both parasite elimination and skin protection.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

No significant interactions with other medicines are known when used as directed externally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes, in most cases a single application that is left on for 8 to 12 hours is sufficient. However, if scabies persists after 14 days, your doctor may recommend a second treatment.
Itching may persist for up to 4 weeks after treatment. This is usually due to the body's allergic reaction to dead mites rather than treatment failure. The infection itself should be cured.
Scabies spreads very easily through close physical contact. Treating all household members and partners at the same time prevents reinfestation and breaks the cycle of transmission.
