The treatment of scabies is very serious. Lindane Lotion is to be used after all safer medications have failed to work or have caused side effects that can not be lived with. It works by killing the scabies’ mites and their eggs.
Patients with a history of seizures or particular skin conditions should not use Lindane Lotion. If the patient is experiencing atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, or other broken skin or irritations, then Lindane Lotion should not be used. It is also not to be used in the treatment of Norwegian (crusted) scabies. Breastfeeding mothers should not use Lindane Lotion without first discussing it with their doctor because it is secreted in the breast milk.
Additional precautions exist when using Lindane Lotion in infants, children, the elderly, or those who weigh less than 110 lbs. These patients may experience serious nervous system side effects. It is extremely important that the dosing instructions provided by your doctor are followed exactly. Seizures and death have resulted by repeated or prolonged use of Lindane Lotion.
There are some other medications that may adversely affect Lindane Lotion benefits. If you are taking phenothiazines (eg, thioridazine), isoniazid, sedatives (eg, phenobarbital, diazepam), theophylline, or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline), let your health care provider know before beginning scabies treatment with Lindane Lotion. The use of alcohol or other sedatives can also affect the benefits of Lindane Lotion. An online Canadian pharmacy can also answer questions you may have about taking this drug. You can buy cheap Lindane Lotion online from Canadian pharmacies.
When using Lindane Lotion, do not use with moisturizers or other creams, lotions, ointments, or oils. It is believed that oil-based products can increase the skin’s absorption of Lindane Lotion, which would increase the risk of serious side effects. It is also necessary to wait at least one hour after getting the skin wet before applying Lindane Lotion. Moist or warm skin increases the absorption rate of Lindane Lotion, also increasing the risk of serious side effects.
This drug should not be used more than once a day. Be sure to read the medication guide that comes from your online Canada drugs store carefully before applying Lindane Lotion.
Lindane Lotion can cause drowsiness or dizziness. Before you drive or do anything dangerous, be sure how you will react to Lindane Lotion. This medicine is intended for external use only. If you do get it in your mouth, it is imperative that you call your local poison control center immediately and seek emergency treatment. Seizures are another side effect that requires immediate, emergency treatment.
Once treatment for scabies with Lindane Lotion has begun, all clothing, sheets, pillows, towels, stuffed animals, etc. should be either dry cleaned or washed in the hottest water possible. This should be done for all family members the infected person has come in contact with. However, Lindane Lotion should not be shared among family members. Each person with scabies should be seen by a doctor to determine if Lindane Lotion is right for them.
