Benzyl alcohol is a natural preservative that's used in a wide variety of products, including foods and cosmetics. It can also be found in medical settings where it's used to treat parasitic infections of the skin as directed by a medical professional. 

How Benzyl Alcohol is Used to Treat Parasitic Infections 

Benzyl alcohol is a natural element used in hospitals and other medical settings when combined with other agents to treat parasitic infections, used in various types of lotions and creams. The cream or lotion containing benzyl alcohol is applied topically onto the body to treat the parasitic infection at the source.  The most common reason a doctor or other medical professional will prescribe benzyl alcohol is to assist with a head lice infection.  The proper dosing of benzyl alcohol in a product depends on the infection and its severity. The dosing is based on weight, age, and other factors, such as the appropriate use of the cream containing benzyl alcohol and how long the patient has had the infection. 

Various Ways to Use Benzyl Alcohol Topically

It is also commonly found as an ingredient in topical products used to treat fungal skin conditions such as athlete's foot and ringworm. As noted prior, it is a common element used in fighting a lice infection.  Approved by the FDA for its use in medical products and topical creams, Benzyl alcohol can be purchased from MedLab Supply at competitive prices, with fast shipping options available for immediate use in your high-quality medical-grade products.
