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 FOR HEAD LICE 1 Wet hair.
