Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Scabies is caused by tiny mites that burrow into the skin, causing intense itching and a characteristic rash. Successful treatment involves not only applying the medicine correctly but also ensuring that all close household members and intimate contacts are treated at the same time, even if they have no symptoms. This helps prevent reinfestation.
Ovelle Benzyl Benzoate should only be applied to intact skin as directed in the patient information leaflet. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other sensitive areas. Following treatment, bedding, towels and clothing should be washed according to public health guidance. Persistent itching may continue for several weeks after successful treatment and does not necessarily indicate treatment failure. If symptoms persist, worsen or signs of skin infection develop, seek advice from your GP or pharmacist.

2. How does benzyl benzoate treat scabies?
Benzyl benzoate works by eliminating the mites responsible for scabies. Correct application to all recommended areas of the body is essential for effective treatment. All close household contacts should usually be treated at the same time to reduce the risk of reinfestation.

The 1-litre bottle is particularly useful for healthcare facilities, nursing homes, residential care settings and larger households where multiple treatments may be required.
