Abstract
The purpose of this document is to assess the potential risk of insult and injury to children resulting from the prescribed use of malathion for the control of head lice. As required by the Food Quality Protection Act ( FQPA), the Agency has considered the pharmaceutical use of malathion in its reregistration evaluation. Ovide has been approved by the FDA for use to control a highly contagious parasite (Pediculus humanus capitis L.) that infects the human scalp. This condition is of particular importance to school age children where close human contact occurs haphazardly. The source of exposure was accordingly, the willful and prescribed use of the topical lotion, Ovide , containing 5percent (w/v) malathion (MEDICI, The Dermatology Company) lotion as a pediculicide according to label directions (The Medical Letter, 1999).
