OZIMITE SOAP
INTRODUCTION
Ozimite
Soap is an antiparasitic medication. It is used to treat scabies, a condition
where tiny insects infest and irritate your skin. This medicine works by
killing the insects (mites) and their eggs.
Your doctor will explain how to use Ozimite Soap and how much you need. Read
the instructions that come with the medicine to make sure you use it correctly.
Your skin should be clean, dry and cool before using it. Your whole body should
be washed thoroughly 8-14 hours after you have used this medicine. Most people
only need to use it once to treat their condition but, if a second application
is needed, wait at least 7 days. Sometimes itching may last for a few weeks
after treating scabies. This is probably an allergic reaction to dead mites and
not a sign that the treatment has failed.
The most common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or tingling where
the medicine is applied. Most side effects are usually mild and not everyone
gets them.
Before using it, let your doctor know if you have any skin conditions or
allergies to medicines, food or other substances, or if you have asthma. Though
this medicine is generally thought to be safe, you should ask for your
doctor’s advice if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
