A-LICES SCALP & BODY HYGIENE SHAMPOO

_MALATHION SHAMPOO 1.0% W/W _
PRESENTATION 
A clear dark-green liquid shampoo with lavender
and citrus fragrances containing Malathion 1.0% w/w. 
USES 
_ACTIONS _
A-LICES Shampoo contains malathion, a widely
used organophosphorus insecticide which is active via 
cholinesterase inhibition effective against a wide range of insects,
but is one of the least toxic 
organophosphorus insecticides since it is rapidly detoxified by
plasma carboxylesterases. 
_PHARMACOKINETICS _
Percutaneous absorption of malathion is very limited. In a study in
human volunteers, approximately 4% 
of the dose applied to the skin was absorbed and this proportion did
not change with repeated daily 
application to the same site for 8 days. The proportion of the
dose recovered in urine was between 1.8% 
and 3.3%. 
Malathion is hydrolysed and detoxified by plasma carboxylesterases
much more rapidly in man than in 
insects, giving rise to selective toxicity and a low potential for
toxicity in man. 
_INDICATIONS _
For the treatment and eradication of head lice, pubic lice and
their eggs.  
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 
The source of infestation should be sought and treated. All
persons in intimate contact with each other 
should be treated at the same time

2 
A second application is usually recommended, a week after the first

3 
Bedding, comb, towels, pillows, bedding and clothing should
