Indications
- Scabies infestations (4 years and older)

Pharmacology
Spinosad causes neuronal excitation in insects, leading to paralysis and death after hyperexcitation. Topical application results in minimal systemic absorption, so systemic side effects are very low. The drug acts locally on the skin surface and is eliminated through washing.
