Benzyl Benzoate is indicated for-
Scabies
Pediculosis pubis and capitis
Benzyl Benzoate is used in the treatment of ectoparasites such as scabies and pediculosis. Benzyl benzoate in concentrations of 10-20% v/v is toxic to sarcoptes scabiei as well as pediculosis. In vitro, the sarcoptes mite is killed in 5 minutes in benzyl benzoate. It’s mechanism of action is unclear but in view of its effects on vertebrates, it is thought that it may act on the nervous system of the parasite.
Scabies: After a hot bath and drying, it is applied to the whole body except the head and face. If the application is thorough, one treatment should suffice, but the possibility of failure is lessened if a second application is made within 5 days of the first. Alternatively, Scabisol can be applied to the whole body, except the head and face, on three occasions at 12 hourly intervals. The patient has a hot both 12 hours after the last application and changes to clean clothes and sheets.Pediculosis: The affected region is coated with Scabisol followed by a wash 24 hours later with soap and water. In severe cases this procedure may need to be repeated two or three times. An examination should always be made a week after the last treatment to confirm disinfestation.USE IN CHILDREN: It can be diluted with an equal quantity of water for older children and with three parts of water for babies.
