Description
Overview of the medicine
Siodil Scabino Bathing Bar is a medicated soap formulated with active ingredients like Permethrin and Cetrimide to effectively treat and prevent scabies, head lice, and other skin infections caused by ectoparasites. It also has antiseptic properties to cleanse the skin and prevent secondary bacterial infections, leaving the skin clean and healthy.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Use as a regular bathing soap. For scabies, lather thoroughly over the entire body (from neck down), leave on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse off. Repeat daily for 3-5 days or as directed by a physician. For lice, use on hair and scalp.
Elderly
Same as adults, with caution for sensitive skin.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment needed due to minimal systemic absorption.
How to Take
For external use only. Wet the body, apply the bar to create a rich lather. Gently massage the lather onto the affected areas or entire body. Leave for the recommended duration (e.g., 5-10 minutes for scabies treatment) then rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.
Mechanism of Action
Permethrin acts as a neurotoxin to ectoparasites like mites and lice, causing paralysis and death. It disrupts the sodium channel current in the nerve cell membranes of these parasites. Cetrimide, a quaternary ammonium compound, is an antiseptic that disrupts bacterial cell membranes, inhibiting their growth and viability, thus preventing secondary infections.
Pharmacokinetics

Local action starts immediately upon application.

Mainly via urine as inactive metabolites if absorbed systemically.

Not applicable for topical bar; any absorbed permethrin is rapidly metabolized.

Rapidly hydrolyzed by esterases to inactive metabolites in skin and blood if absorbed.
