Scabris Lotion is a dermatological formulation used to treat scabies and lice infestations effectively.

Scabris Lotion offers rapid relief from itching, irritation, and inflammation. Suitable for both adults and children over 2 months, this lotion is widely recommended for its proven efficacy and ease of use.
