Uses of Gemaben Lotion
Benefits of Gemaben Lotion
In Scabies
Scabies is a condition caused by tiny insects called mites that infest and irritate your skin. Gemaben Lotion is an anti-parasite medicine. It works by paralyzing and killing the mites and their eggs. Generally, the cream should be applied to the whole body except the face and head but follow your doctor’s advice. It should be thoroughly washed off after 8-12 hours. Often one application is enough to treat the condition completely but sometimes a second one may be required a week later.

How should Gemaben Lotion be applied?
You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Gemaben Lotion cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips.

What precautions should be followed while applying Gemaben Lotion?
Use Gemaben Lotion only on your skin. Keep it away from your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Gemaben Lotion on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Gemaben Lotion on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. This is because Gemaben Lotion can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Gemaben Lotion. Avoid contact with hair as Gemaben Lotion has strong bleaching properties. Consult your doctor for any other query related to Gemaben Lotion.
How often should I apply Gemaben Lotion?

How long does Gemaben Lotion take to show its effects?
You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for a longer duration to gain maximum benefit. Do not worry, this is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.
When can I apply moisturizer, before or after Gemaben Lotion?
You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Gemaben Lotion. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.
