More research is needed on the effectiveness of malathion, particularly when compared to permethrin, and on the management of scabies in an institutional setting and at a community level. (cochrane.org)
Topical permethrin appeared more effective than oral ivermectin (140 participants, 2 trials), topical crotamiton (194 participants, 2 trials), and topical lindane (753 participants, 5 trials). (cochrane.org)
Permethrin also appeared more effective in reducing itch persistence than either crotamiton (94 participants, 1 trial) or lindane (490 participants, 2 trials). (cochrane.org)
These authors reviewed 147 studies that assessed treatment failure of scabies with permethrin, ivermectin, crotamiton, benzyl benzoate, malathion, sulfur, or lindane, and they performed a random-effects meta-analysis for all outcomes reported by at least 2 studies. (practiceupdate.com)
Chlorinated hydrocarbons (or organochlorines) are synthetic insecticides, including DDT (dichlorodiphe-nyltrichloroethane) and its relatives DDD (dichloro-diphenyl-dichloroethane) and methoxychlor, lindane, and cyclodienes such as chlordane, heptachlor, aldrin, and dieldrin. (encyclopedia.com)
Pesticides3
However, the use of organophosphorus and carbamate pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, diazinon, malathion, carbofuran and carbaryl has greatly increased because of their less detrimental effects on the environment, resulting from a small persistence time (2 h to 8 weeks). (shabupc.com)
Extensive consumption, toxicity and bioaccumulation of malathion (MLT) and lindane (γ-HCH) pesticides collectively attract the world's attention. (bvsalud.org)

Pesticide1
Lindane and malathion are among the most neurotoxic pesticide ingredients contained in some prescription lice treatments. (licemeister.com)
Treatments1
The substance compound lindane, when handily found in business treatments has been prohibited in a few nations because of its problematic results, including expanding one's danger of getting malignant growth. (maison-page.net)
Pregnant1
Lindane should not be used to treat premature infants, persons with a seizure disorder, women who are pregnant or breast-feeding, persons who have very irritated skin or sores where the lindane will be applied, infants, children, the elderly, and persons who weigh less than 110 pounds. (cdc.gov)
The use of insecticides and pediculicides (eg, lindane, crotamiton, malathion) can be highly effective in reducing louse infestation and may serve as important adjuncts to specific therapy in curtailing louse-borne typhus epidemics. (medscape.com)
Ivermectin2
malathion 0.5% (Ovide), lindane 1% shampoo and lotion, ivermectin 0.5% lotion (Sklice), spinosad 0.9% (Natroba), and benzyl alcohol 5% lotion (Ulesfia) are prescription agents. (medscape.com)

Insecticides1
The CSE analysed samples from 12 major softdrink manufacturers that are sold in and around the capital at its laboratories and found that all of them contained residues of four extremely toxic pesticides and insecticides - lindane, DDT, malathion and chlorpyrifos. (ipsnews.net)
Shampoo4
[ 13 ] Lindane shampoo (1%) is FDA approved as second-line treatment of pubic lice (crabs). (medscape.com)
In November 2004, the Washington State Department of Health reported that a boy aged 3 years ingested approximately 1 teaspoon of 1% lindane shampoo from a previously used 2-ounce bottle. (cdc.gov)
Because of a greater risk of side effects with lindane shampoo, it is only recommended for use when other products have failed. (actforlibraries.org)
