FAQs
Is Scabi-Cap Creamy Lotion available without a prescription?
No. Scabi-Cap Creamy Lotion is available only on prescription from a registered medical practitioner in Pakistan.
How does Scabi-Cap Creamy Lotion work?
Permethrin 5% disrupts sodium channel current in the nerve cell membranes of Sarcoptes scabiei mites and lice, causing delayed repolarisation, paralysis, and death of the pest.
Is one application enough to treat scabies?
In most cases, a single overnight application is curative. Your doctor will advise if a second application after one week is needed for persistent cases.
How is Scabi-Cap different from other permethrin lotions for scabies?
Scabi-Cap uses a creamy lotion vehicle (vs. standard lotions) which helps it spread more evenly into skin folds and body contours. It also provides clear age-specific dosing guidance for adults, children, and infants.
Does the whole family need to be treated at the same time?
Yes. All household members and close physical contacts must be treated simultaneously — even without symptoms — to prevent re-infestation.
