About Natroba

What is this medication?

Natroba is a prescription topical suspension containing the active ingredient spinosad. It is primarily used for the topical treatment of head lice infestations in adults and pediatric patients who are at least six months of age. This medication functions as a pediculicide by targeting the nervous system of the lice, causing muscle contractions that lead to paralysis and death of the insects. It is typically applied to dry hair and the scalp, left in place for ten minutes, and then thoroughly rinsed off with warm water.

In addition to treating lice, Natroba is also approved for the treatment of scabies infestations in patients four years of age and older. For scabies treatment, the lotion is applied to the entire body from the neck down to the soles of the feet and is left on the skin for at least six hours before being washed off. Because it is effective at killing both the parasites and their eggs, many patients only require a single application to resolve the infestation. Common side effects are generally mild and may include skin redness, crusting, or irritation at the application site.

Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity: Not recommended in infants below the age of 6 months; potential for increased systemic absorption. ( 5.1 ) 5.1 Benzyl Alcohol Toxicity NATROBA contains benzyl alcohol and is not approved for use in neonates and infants below the age of 6 months. Systemic exposure to benzyl alcohol has been associated with serious adverse reactions and death in neonates and low birth-weight infants when administered intravenously [See Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 )] .
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS Most common adverse events for lice treatment (>1%) were application site erythema and ocular erythema. ( 6.1 ) Most common adverse reactions for scabies treatment (>1%) were application site irritation (pain and burning) and dry skin. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact ParaPRO, LLC at 1-855-628-7622 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Studies Experience Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. Head Lice Infestations NATROBA was studied in two randomized, active-controlled trials (N=552) in subjects with head lice; Table 1 presents selected adverse events, regardless of relationship to NATROBA, that occurred in at least 1% of subjects. Table 1: Selected Adverse Events Occurring in at least 1% of Subjects with Head Lice Infestation Signs Natroba (N=552) Permethrin 1% (N=457) Application site erythema 17 (3%) 31(7%) Ocular erythema 12 (2%) 15 (3%) Application site irritation 5 (1%) 7 (2%) Other less common reactions (less than 1% but more than 0.1%) were application site dryness, application site exfoliation, alopecia, and dry skin. Scabies Infestations NATROBA was studied in three randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials (Trial 1, Trial 2, and Trial 3) in 592 subjects with scabies infestation, of which 165 were ages 4-17 and 427 were adults. Subjects received a single application of NATROBA to the skin from the neck to the soles of the feet, which was washed off after a minimum of 6 hours. Table 2 presents adverse reactions related to NATROBA treatment that occurred in at least 1% of subjects.

Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Spinosad, the active ingredient in NATROBA, is not absorbed systemically following topical application, and maternal use is not expected to result in fetal exposure to the drug. NATROBA contains benzyl alcohol. Topical benzyl alcohol is unlikely to be absorbed through the skin in clinically relevant amounts; therefore, maternal use is not expected to result in fetal exposure to the drug [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . In animal reproduction studies, no adverse embryofetal effects were seen at oral doses of spinosad up to 200 mg/kg/day in pregnant rats or 50 mg/kg/day in pregnant rabbits administered during the period of organogenesis (see Data) . The available data do not allow the calculation of relevant comparisons between the systemic exposure of spinosad in animal studies to the systemic exposure that would be expected in humans after topical use of NATROBA. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk for birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Systemic embryofetal development studies were conducted in rats and rabbits. Oral doses of 10, 50 and 200 mg/kg/day spinosad were administered during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 6 – 15) to pregnant female rats. No adverse embryofetal effects were noted at any dose. Maternal toxicity occurred at 200 mg/kg/day. Oral doses of 2.5, 10, and 50 mg/kg/day spinosad were administered during the period of organogenesis (gestational days 7 – 19) to pregnant female rabbits. No adverse embryofetal effects were noted at any dose. Maternal toxicity occurred at 50 mg/kg/day. A two-generation dietary reproduction study was conducted in rats. Oral doses of 3, 10, and 100 mg/kg/day spinosad were administered to male and female rats from 10-12 weeks prior to mating and throughout mating, parturition, and lactation. No reproductive/developmental toxicity was noted at doses up to 10 mg/kg/day. In the presence of maternal toxicity, increased dystocia in parturition, decreased gestation survival, decreased litter size, decreased pup body weight, and decreased neonatal survival occurred at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day.
