CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Malathion is an organophosphate agent which acts as a pediculicide by
inhibiting cholinesterase activity
in vivo. Inadvertent transdermal absorption of malathion has occurred
from its agricultural use. In such
cases, acute toxicity was manifested by excessive cholinergic
activity, i.e., increased sweating, salivary
and gastric secretion, gastrointestinal and uterine motility, and
bradycardia (see OVERDOSAGE).
Because the potential for transdermal absorption of malathion from
Malathion Lotion is not known at this
time, strict adherence to the dosing instructions regarding its use in
children, method of application,
duration of exposure, and frequency of application is required.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Malathion Lotion is indicated for patients infected with Pediculus
humanus capitis (head lice and their
ova) of the scalp hair.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Malathion Lotion is contraindicated for neonates and infants because
their scalps are more permeable
and may have increased absorption of malathion. Malathion Lotion
should also not be used on
individuals known to be sensitive to malathion or any of the
ingredients in the vehicle.

1. Malathion Lotion is FLAMMABLE. The lotion and wet hair should not
be exposed to open flames or
electric heat sources, including hair dryers and electric curlers. Do
not smoke while applying lotion
