Indications: scabies, pediculosis

Cautions: children (not recommended, ), avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; do not use on broken or secondarily infected skin.

Side Effects: slight skin irritation, transient burning sensation especially on genitalia and excoriations, occasionally rashes.

Dose: Apply over the whole body; repeat without bathing on the following day and wash off 24 hours later; a third application may be required in some cases.

Note: Not recommended for children—dilution to reduce irritant effect also reduces efficacy. Some manufacturers recommend application to the body but to exclude the head and neck. However, application should be extended to the scalp, neck, face, and ears.

Breast feeding: suspend feeding until product has been washed off.
