Also tell your doctor if you drink, used to drink, or have recently stopped drinking large amounts of alcohol and if you have recently stopped using sedatives (sleeping pills).
tell your doctor if you are pregnant or are breast-feeding. If you are pregnant, wear gloves when applying lindane to another person to prevent its absorption through your skin. If you are breast-feeding, pump and discard your milk for 24 hours after you use lindane. Feed your baby stored breastmilk or formula during this time, and do not allow your baby's skin to touch the lindane on your skin.
tell your doctor if you have recently used lindane.
if you have scabies or pubic lice, tell your doctor if you have a sexual partner. This person should also be treated so he or she will not reinfect you. If you have head lice, all people who live in your household or who have been in close contact with you may need to be treated. Do not share your medication with other people because it may harm them.
