What are the difficulties you have noticed since the ban of Lindane? Source: American Academy of Pediatrics/UCSF/PEHSU Survey, 2005

Comments from California Pediatricians on Scabies Treatment “Haven’t had Elimite fail” “I have seen improved response to Elimite for scabies..” “I’ve had scabies myself (about 5 times volunteering in many orphanages). I prefer Elimite.” Source: American Academy of Pediatrics/UCSF/PEHSU Survey, 2005

California Summary Even before the ban (since 1987) we strongly recommended against lindane because it was not effective and posed potential health risks. 1% permethrin remains the drug of choice for head lice For lice treatment failures, 0.5% malathion is the drug of choice 5% permethrin is the #1 choice for scabies

Results of a 2005 California random survey of 400 actively practicing pediatricians by the Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit/University of California, San Francisco/American Academy of Pediatrics Have you changed your prescribing practice for the treatment of lice and scabies as a result of the ban in 2000?

HEAD LICE TREATMENT Medical Board of California Action Report is a monthly publication sent to all physicians January 2000 “California Program to Prevent and Control Head Lice” written by CDHS If there is treatment failure with permethrin or pyrethrins, CONSIDER 0.5% malathion, not lindane.
