Uses / Indications

  • Malathion lotion 0.0005 g/mL is primarily used to treat head lice infestations in adults and children aged 6 years and older. It is also prescribed for scabies, a skin condition caused by tiny mites burrowing into the skin. The medication works by paralyzing and killing lice and their eggs. It is not intended for use on eyebrows, eyelashes, or other sensitive areas unless specifically directed.

Side Effects

  • When applied as directed, malathion lotion begins to take effect by reducing itching and irritation associated with lice or scabies within a few days. Users may notice a decrease in visible lice or mites as the treatment progresses. The lotion has a slight odor due to its formulation, which is normal. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or open wounds during application.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Keep malathion lotion away from flames or heat sources due to its flammable alcohol base. Apply in a well-ventilated area and avoid smoking during use. Wash hands thoroughly after application and avoid touching treated areas until fully dry. Do not use on broken or irritated skin. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Avoid Interactions

  • Malathion lotion has minimal systemic absorption, so drug interactions are unlikely. However, avoid using other topical medications on the same area unless directed by a healthcare provider. Alcohol-based products may increase skin dryness or irritation when used concurrently. Consult a healthcare professional before combining with other treatments for lice or scabies.
