Clofenotane, also known as DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane), is an organochlorine insecticide that was widely used for the control of vector-borne diseases like malaria. Due to environmental persistence and toxic effects in humans and wildlife, its use is now highly restricted or banned in most countries.
No specific pharmacokinetic parameters in humans have been directly reported in peer-reviewed literature for therapeutic or vector control dosing. Data below are estimated based on animal and environmental studies and extrapolation.
