Parasiticidal preparations, Topical Antifungal preparations
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.
