According to a Reuters News Article on July 31, 2008, Taro Pharmaceutical Industried Ltd., and Nextwave Pharmaceuticals, Inc have entered into an agreement regarding Ovide. Ovide is a Prescription lice drug. The agreement will result in a joint promotion of Ovide lice medicine to pediactricians and health professionals, who are approached for lice help. The two companies are targeting approximately 10,000 doctors, in an attempt to market their product for lice treatment.
Although Ovide is approved by the FDA for treating head lice and nits eggs, serious questions remain. Ovide it a brand name for malathion. The bottom line is this is a strong chemical, that you are putting on your child's head - because he has lice! Malathion is not considered safe for treating children under six years old who have head lice. It is a prescription drug, for head lice. But head lice is not an illness. Lice is not a disease! Lice is an uncomfortable nuisance, but it isn't dangerous! You do not even need a pediatrician to treat head lice!
