Objective: To compare 3 drug formulations including: LINDAN shampoo 1%, PERMETHRINE shampoo 1% and Copex powder 0.5% in the treatment of head lice infestation. Patients and Methods: Ninety students with a confirmed diagnosis of PEDICULOSIS were selected from rural schools and randomly treated in 3 equal groups with the mentioned medications. The results were evaluated after 24 hours, 1, 2 and 6 weeks. Results: The rate of healing was 83.3% , 100%, 100% after 24 hours, 70%,93.3%, 90% after 1 week, 63.3%, 90%, 76.7% after 2 weeks and 40%,83.3%,66.7% after 6 weeks in patients treated with LINDAN, permethrin , and Copex powder, respectively (P<0.05, chi-square test).
