When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug use in presence of concomitant diseases.

Consumer:

The use of lindane is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders. Topically applied lindane is systemically absorbed and has induced CNS toxicity such as dizziness, headache, disorientation, and seizures. Although seizures have generally occurred due to product misuse or oral ingestion, they have also been reported occasionally when used as directed. Lindane use is also contraindicated in premature neonates due to the likelihood of increased skin permeability.
