Benzyl benzoate is an organic compound utilized both as a medication, particularly for treating scabies and lice, and as an insect repellent. Its applications extend to addressing parasitic infestations in humans.
Benzyl benzoate is used to treat conditions such as scabies and lice infestations. It is typically applied topically to the skin in the form of a lotion for effective treatment.
Permethrin and Malathion are often preferred for treating scabies; however, benzyl benzoate may be chosen based on factors such as patient preference or contraindications to other treatments.
Benzyl benzoate is typically applied to the skin as a lotion, and two to three applications are often necessary for effective treatment. The specific application regimen may vary based on the severity of the infestation.
While primarily known for its antiparasitic properties, benzyl benzoate may have other uses, including as a solvent, fixative in perfumery, and as an ingredient in certain pharmaceutical formulations.
