/On April 9, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new prescription medication for the treatment of head lice ( Pediculosis capitis ) infestation. Benzyl Alcohol Lotion, 5%, received full market approval as a prescription medication, for use in patients 6 months of age and older. Benzyl Alcohol Lotion, 5%, is the first head lice product approved by the FDA with benzyl alcohol as the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
FDA; FDA Approves Benzyl Alcohol Lotion for the Treatment of Head Lice, FDA News (April 9, 2009) Available from, as of April 20, 2009: https://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2009/NEW01993.html
The safety and effectiveness of Benzyl Alcohol Lotion, 5%, was demonstrated in two studies of 628 people, 6 months of age and older, with active head lice infestation. The subjects received two, 10-minute treatments of either Benzyl Alcohol Lotion or a topical placebo, one week apart. Fourteen days after the final treatment, more than 75 percent of the subjects treated with Benzyl Alcohol Lotion, 5%, were lice free.

In each of two double-blind studies, 25 patients suffering from early progressive idiopathic cataracts, subcapsular or cortical in site, received one drop of saline containing 0.07% benzyl alcohol every 8 hours. The eyelid was held open for at least 2 minutes. Treatment continued for 22 months. In one study, a control group received placebo, whereas in the other study, the control group received an anticataract medication. Clinical findings were recorded every 30 days for the first 14 months, then patients were followed for up to 18 and 22 months. A significant (p < .01) increase in visual acuity (VA) was observed in patients treated with benzyl alcohol after 30 and 60 days as compared to those receiving either placebo or the medication. Compared to those placebo or medication treated, a significant (p < .01) decrease in lens opacity was noted in 19 and 17 patients treated with benzyl alcohol, respectively. In the course of the studies, a significant increase in the number of surgeries for cataracts was noted in patients not receiving benzyl alcohol. One patient treated with benzyl alcohol required surgery after 22 months compared to 38 total who had received either placebo or medication. benzyl alcohol was well tolerated except in two patients (4%) where tolerance was fair in one and poor in the other.

Common side effects of /Benzyl Alcohol Lotion, 5%/ include irritations of the skin, scalp, and eyes, and numbness at the site of application. As with all medications, it is important to use benzyl alcohol, 5%, as labeled to maximize benefits and minimize risks. The product should be applied only to the scalp or the hair attached to the scalp. It is not approved for use in children younger than six months. Use in premature infants could lead to serious respiratory, heart- or brain-related adverse events such as seizure, coma, or death.

It also seems prudent to avoid the use of products containing benzyl alcohol to pregnant patients within whom the benzyl alcohol molecule, given its small size, presumably crosses the placental barrier into immature fetal tissues as readily as it crosses the blood-brain barrier.

Premature neonates may receive multiple drugs in the neonatal intensive care unit, some of which may contain benzyl alcohol. As there may be no safe lower dose of benzyl alcohol in these patients, it would seem prudent to avoid the use of multiple dose vials containing benzyl alcohol whenever alternatives exist.

Benzyl alcohol is believe to have a role in the increased frequency of cerebral intraventricular hemorrhages and mortality reported in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants (weight < 1000 g) who received flush solutions preserved with benzyl alcohol. An increased incidence of developmental delay and cerebral palsy is also noted in the same VLBW patient population, suggesting a secondary damaging effect of benzyl alcohol.

Anesthetics, Local
Drugs that block nerve conduction when applied locally to nerve tissue in appropriate concentrations. They act on any part of the nervous system and on every type of nerve fiber. In contact with a nerve trunk, these anesthetics can cause both sensory and motor paralysis in the innervated area. Their action is completely reversible. (From Gilman AG, et. al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed) Nearly all local anesthetics act by reducing the tendency of voltage-dependent sodium channels to activate. (See all compounds classified as Anesthetics, Local.)

The percutaneous absorption was determined in vivo in rhesus monkeys. Absorption through occluded skin was high (56-80 %) in 24 hr. No correlation was seen between skin penetration and the octanol-water partition coefficient. Under unoccluded conditions skin penetration was reduced (32 %), because of evaporation of the compound.

Rabbits given 1 g of benzyl alcohol sc eliminated 300-400 mg of hippuric acid within the following 24 hr. Within 6 hr after oral administration of 0.40 g benzyl alcohol/kg bw, rabbits eliminated 65.7% of dose as hippuric acid in the urine.

In humans and animals, benzyl alcohol was readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Percutaneous absorption was high following topical use. Rhesus monkeys absorbed 56-80% of a topical dose administered under occlusive conditions in 24 hours; absorption was less under unoccluded conditions due to evaporation. Benzyl alcohol rapidly disappeared from the injection site following intramuscular administration in rats; the disappearance half-life was estimated to be less than 10 minutes. ...

Benzyl alcohol is normally oxidized rapidly to benzoic acid, conjugated with glycine in the liver, and excreted as hippuric acid. However, this metabolic pathway may not be well developed in premature infants. The benzyl alcohol may therefore have been metabolized to benzoic acid, which could not be conjugated by the immature liver but accumulated, causing metabolic acidosis ... .

When metabolized, benzyl alcohol is converted to benzoic acid by simple oxidation. The relevant data, therefore, relate to benzoic acid and sodium benzoate.

Benzyl alcohol was an intermediate product in the metabolic pathway of benzyl acetate; the subsequent metabolism was identical to that of benzyl alcohol.

In adults, benzyl alcohol is oxidized to benzoic acid, conjugated in the liver with glycine, and excreted in the urine as hippuric acid. The immature metabolic capacities of infants diminish their ability to metabolize and excrete benzyl alcohol. Preterm babies have a greater ability to metabolize benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid than do term babies, but are unable to convert benzoic acid to hippuric acid, possibly because of glycine deficiency. This results in the accumulation of benzoic acid.
