Zyscab 1% Lotion is a type of medication known as an antiparasitic drug. It is specifically designed to treat a skin condition called scabies, which occurs when tiny insects infest the skin, causing irritation. This lotion works by effectively eliminating these insects, known as mites, along with their eggs.

When using Zyscab 1% Lotion, it is crucial to carefully follow the instructions provided by your doctor. Ensure that your skin is clean, dry, and cool before applying the lotion. It is recommended to wash your entire body thoroughly around 8-14 hours after applying the medication. In most cases, a single application is sufficient to treat the condition. However, if a second application is necessary, it should be done only after at least 7 days. It is normal for itching to persist for a few weeks after treatment, which is likely due to an allergic reaction to the dead mites rather than indicating treatment failure.

Like any medication, Zyscab 1% Lotion may cause certain side effects, although they are typically mild. Common side effects include a slight burning, stinging, or tingling sensation at the site of application. Not everyone experiences these side effects, and they are generally well-tolerated.

Before using Zyscab 1% Lotion, it is essential to inform your doctor about any existing skin conditions, allergies to medications, foods, or other substances, as well as if you have asthma. While this medication is generally considered safe, it is advisable to seek your doctor's advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using it.
