💡 Quick Answer — What is Scabiheal Lotion?
Scabiheal Lotion contains gamma benzene hexachloride (lindane) 1% + cetrimide — an organochlorine scabicide and pediculicide for scabies and head lice in patients who have failed first-line permethrin or ivermectin. Apply over the entire body from the neck down (avoid face); leave on for 6–8 hours; wash off thoroughly. Single application is usually sufficient; repeat only if needed at 7 days. Lindane is a SECOND-LINE scabicide. It has been withdrawn or restricted in the US, EU, and most developed countries due to neurotoxicity (seizures) and environmental persistence. Use only when permethrin and ivermectin are unavailable or contraindicated.

What Scabiheal Lotion is and how it works
Scabiheal Lotion contains gamma benzene hexachloride (lindane) 1% + cetrimide. Gamma benzene hexachloride (lindane, γ-HCH) is an organochlorine pesticide that disrupts arthropod nerve cell function, causing paralysis and death of mites and lice. It penetrates the skin in mammalian use and can cause central nervous system toxicity — particularly seizures — at therapeutic doses if misapplied. Manufacturer: WHO-GMP certified manufacturer.
⚠️ Withdrawn in many countries — second-line only — Lindane has been withdrawn from the market in the US (2009), EU (2008), Canada (2004), and most developed countries because of: (1) reported neurotoxicity (seizures and death from misapplication), (2) environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. The WHO classifies lindane as a Persistent Organic Pollutant. Use Scabiheal Lotion ONLY when permethrin and ivermectin are unavailable or contraindicated, and follow application instructions exactly.
Indications (second-line)
- Scabies — when permethrin treatment has failed and ivermectin is unavailable/contraindicated.
- Head lice — when permethrin and malathion have failed.
How to apply (scabies)
- Bath or shower; pat dry.
- Apply Scabiheal Lotion to the entire body from the neck down — including skin folds, between fingers and toes, genitals, soles.
- Avoid the face, scalp, and ears in adults.
- Leave on for 6–8 hours maximum (NOT overnight; risk of toxicity).
- Wash off thoroughly with cool water.
- Single application is typically sufficient. Do NOT routinely repeat — repeat only if treatment failure is confirmed at 2 weeks.
- Wash all clothes, bedding, towels at >60°C on the day of treatment.
- Treat all household contacts simultaneously.
Bijwerkingen
- Vaak voorkomend: mild itching, burning, redness at application site.
- Minder vaak: headache, dizziness, contact dermatitis.
- Zeldzaam maar ernstig: seizures (especially in children, low body weight, broken skin, prolonged contact, repeat applications), aplastic anaemia, neurotoxicity.
Contra-indicaties
- Children under 6 (relative — high CNS risk; seizures reported).
- Premature infants.
- Open wounds, severe eczema, large areas of broken skin (significant systemic absorption).
- History of seizures or low seizure threshold.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding (permethrin preferred).
- Body weight under 50 kg (relative — increased toxicity risk).
Pregnancy & breastfeeding
Lindane is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Permethrin 5% is the safer alternative. If lindane is unavoidable in breastfeeding, interrupt nursing for 24 hours after application and discard expressed milk during this window.
Opslag
Store below 25 °C, out of reach of children. Dispose of unused product per local hazardous-waste guidelines (lindane is environmentally persistent).
Veelgestelde vragen
Why is lindane second-line and not first-line?
Lindane is associated with reported seizures and neurotoxicity, and has been withdrawn in the US (2009), EU (2008), and Canada (2004). It is also environmentally persistent. Permethrin and ivermectin are equally effective and much safer.
Can I use Scabiheal Lotion if permethrin failed?
Yes — second-line use after permethrin failure is reasonable when ivermectin is unavailable. Confirm true treatment failure (new burrows at 2–4 weeks) rather than residual post-scabies itch.
Why must I limit application to 6–8 hours?
Longer contact time increases systemic absorption and CNS toxicity risk. Permethrin can be left on overnight (8–14 hours); lindane cannot.
Can I use Scabiheal Lotion on children?
Generally avoid in children under 6 due to higher seizure risk (children have higher body-surface area and lower seizure threshold). Use permethrin instead.
Is Scabiheal Lotion safe in pregnancy?
No — contraindicated. Use permethrin 5%, which is the safer alternative.
How long until the itching goes away?
Itching can persist for 2–4 weeks after successful treatment due to ongoing immune reaction to dead mite proteins. This is NOT treatment failure. Treat with oral antihistamines and emollients.
What if I missed a spot?
Apply more lindane only to the missed area, not the whole body again. Multiple full-body applications increase neurotoxicity risk.
Do I need to treat my family?
Yes — all household members and close contacts simultaneously. Untreated contacts re-infest the family in 4–6 weeks.
What about washing clothes?
All clothes, bedding, towels worn or used in the past 3 days washed at >60°C on the day of treatment.
Can I bathe right after applying?
No — wait the full 6–8 hours, then wash off. Bathing earlier reduces efficacy. Bathing later increases absorption.
