About the Product

Full Description

ZoZo-50 Lotion Permethrin 5% Lotion is a prescription-strength topical medication used primarily to treat scabies infestations, caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites. It is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts as a parasiticidal agent, killing the mites and their eggs. 

Benefits of ZoZo-50 Lotion

  • Highly Effective Scabicide:It is considered one of the most effective treatments for scabies, with high cure rates after one or two applications.
  • Relieves Itching:By killing the mites causing the infestation, it helps relieve the intense itching associated with scabies.
  • Minimal Systemic Absorption:When applied to the skin, very little of the drug is absorbed into the bloodstream (<0.5% in the first 48 hours), making it relatively safe for the body.
  • Easy Application:It is a topical treatment that can be applied at home. 

Ingredients of ZoZo-50 Lotion

  • Active Ingredient:Permethrin 5% w/w (50 mg in 1 g).
  • Inactive Ingredients:Typically includes butylated hydroxytoluene, coconut oil, glycerin, lanolin alcohols, mineral oil, and water.
  • Preservative:Formaldehyde 0.1% is often added as a preservative. 

How to Use ZoZo-50 Lotion

  • Prepare Skin:Take a warm, comfortable bath or shower. Let the skin cool and dry thoroughly before application.
  • Application:Apply a thin layer of the lotion/cream over the entire body, from the neck down to the soles of the feet.
  • Target Areas:Pay special attention to skin folds, between fingers and toes, underarms, navel, and genital area.
  • Children and Elderly:For infants, young children, and adults over 65, also apply to the scalp, hairline, temples, and forehead, avoiding the immediate area around the eyes and mouth.
  • Duration:Leave the medication on the skin for 8–14 hours (usually overnight) before washing it off with soap and water.
  • Reapplication:If you wash your hands or any body part within 8 hours of application, you must reapply the lotion to that area.
  • Second Treatment:A second application is often required 7–14 days after the first to kill any mites that hatched in the interim. 

Side Effects of ZoZo-50 Lotion

While generally safe, some individuals may experience side effects: 

  • Common (Transient):Mild burning, stinging, tingling, redness, itching, or numbness of the skin.
  • Post-Treatment Itching:It is normal to feel itchy for up to 4 weeks after treatment; this does not mean the treatment failed.
  • Serious:Severe rash, swelling of the face or mouth, difficulty breathing (allergic reaction).
  • Rare:Contact dermatitis. 

Important Precautions of ZoZo-50 Lotion

  • Family Treatment:Scabies is highly contagious. All household members and close contacts should be treated simultaneously, even if they have no symptoms.
  • Wash Fabrics:Wash all bedding, clothing, and towels used within the last 3 days in hot water and dry on high heat.
  • Avoid Contact:Do not use on broken or infected skin.
  • Contraindications:Do not use if you are allergic to permethrin or chrysanthemum plants.
  • Pets:Permethrin is highly toxic to cats.
