special instructions
Treatment of complications of scabies (dermatitis, eczema, pyoderma, postscabiosis lymphoplasia) should be carried out simultaneously with treatment of scabies and continue after its completion.
Treatment of patients identified in one outbreak, as well as contact persons, should be carried out simultaneously to avoid re-infection.
The persistence of itching after treatment is not an indication for prescribing an additional course of specific therapy. Itching is the body’s reaction to a killed tick and its waste products and disappears when antihistamines and ointments with glucocorticosteroids are prescribed.
All items that have come into contact with contaminated skin must be treated. Disinfection of bedding, underwear and towels can be carried out by boiling in a 1-2% solution of soda or any washing powder for 5-7 minutes from the moment of boiling or by soaking for an hour in chlorine-containing solutions. Outerwear (dresses, trousers, suits, jumpers, etc.) are disinfected by ironing on both sides with a hot iron. Some items, especially those that cannot be heat treated, can be hung out in the open air for 3 days. To disinfect some things (children's toys, shoes, clothes), you can use a method of temporarily excluding them from use, for which they are placed in hermetically sealed plastic bags for 3 days. Mattresses, pillows, blankets are excluded from use for 5 days or are subjected to chamber disinfection. Upholstered furniture can be treated with disinsection preparations. The apartment must be cleaned, the floors washed with detergents or the addition of disinfectants.
It is necessary to avoid getting the drug on the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. In case of contact, rinse the mucous membranes thoroughly with warm water or 1% - 2% sodium bicarbonate solution (baking soda). If the drug gets into the stomach, you must rinse it with a 1% - 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate and drink a glass of water with activated carbon (stir 6 crushed tablets of activated carbon in ½ glass of water).
The drug does not affect the ability to drive a car or perform work that requires increased concentration.
