Show Answer/Rationale
Ans: (d) benzyl alcohol 70% ✔
✨ Rationale for the MCQ ✨
Pediculosis can be treated with all of the following except:
✅ (d) Benzyl alcohol 70%
🦠 Understanding Pediculosis (Lice Infestation) Treatment
Pediculosis (lice infestation) is treated with topical and oral pediculicidal agents that kill lice and sometimes their eggs (ovicidal action).
Approved Treatments for Pediculosis:
✔️ (a) Lindane – A neurotoxic pediculicide; less commonly used due to potential toxicity.
✔️ (b) Ivermectin – An oral and topical antiparasitic drug that paralyzes lice.
✔️ (c) Permethrin 1% – A first-line treatment that disrupts lice nerve function.
❌ Why (d) Benzyl Alcohol 70% is Incorrect?
🚫 Benzyl alcohol 70% is NOT used for lice treatment.
🔹 Benzyl alcohol 5% lotion is an FDA-approved treatment for head lice, but 70% is too strong and is not recommended.
🔹 Benzyl alcohol works by suffocating lice, but it is NOT ovicidal (does not kill eggs).
💡 Key Takeaway: Stick to approved concentrations and medications for effective lice treatment.
