Jabit Lotion 50 ml

Jabit Lotion is a topical antiparasitic medication commonly used to treat scabies and lice infestations. It typically contains Permethrin (5% w/v) as the active ingredient. 

Benefits of Jabit Lotion

Ø  Treatment of Scabies: Effectively kills the mites (Sarcoptes scabiei) and their eggs that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and rash.

Ø  Treatment of Lice: Used to treat head lice and other lice infestations.

Ø  Relief of Symptoms: Eliminates the parasites causing irritation, thereby reducing the itching, swelling, and redness associated with scabies.

Ø  High Efficacy: A single application is often sufficient to cure the infestation. 

Ingredients of Jabit Lotion

Ø  Active Ingredient: Permethrin 5% w/v.

Ø  Action Class: Ectoparasiticide. 

How to Use Jabit Lotion

Ø  Preparation: Take a bath or shower to ensure the skin is clean, dry, and cool before application.

Ø  Application: Apply the lotion thoroughly to the entire body, from the neck down to the soles of the feet, not just the affected areas.

Ø  Specific Areas: Pay special attention to areas between fingers and toes, underarms, waistline, buttocks, and under fingernails/toenails.

Ø  Children/Infants: For infants or young children, include the neck, scalp, hairline, temples, and forehead.

Ø  Duration: Leave the lotion on for 8 to 14 hours (usually overnight) before washing it off in the shower or bath.

Ø  Second Treatment: A second application may be needed if live mites are detected 7 days after the first application, or as directed by a doctor.

Ø  Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and broken skin. Use gloves if applying to another person. 

Side Effects of Jabit Lotion

Most side effects are mild and transitory as the body adjusts to the medication: 

Ø  Common: Mild burning, stinging, tingling, or itching of the skin.

Ø  Less Common: Redness, swelling, numbness, or skin rashes.

Ø  Persistent Itching: Note that itching may continue for up to 4 weeks after treatment; this is usually an allergic reaction to dead mites rather than a failed treatment.

Ø  Serious Reactions: In rare cases, breathing difficulties may occur.
