Treatment of head lice
Treatment of head lice
- Apply sufficient liquid to dry hair to ensure that no part of the hair is uncovered. Work into the hair, spreading the liquid evenly from the roots to the tips.
- Leave the hair to dry naturally in a warm but well ventilated room.
- After 12 hours, or the next day if preferred, shampoo hair in the normal way
- Rinse the hair and comb whilst wet to remove dead lice and eggs (nits) using a nit comb.
- Wash hands after application.
- The treatment should be repeated after 7 days.
- Apply to the entire skin surface.
- Pay particular attention to all hairy areas including beards and moustaches. Avoid any other areas above the neck.
- Leave on for at least one hour before washing but preferably leave on overnight. Wash off in the usual manner.
- Wash hands after application.
- The treatment should be repeated after 7 days.
- Apply to the entire skin surface.
- In adults it may not be necessary to apply above the neck. If used in children under two years, a thin film of the liquid should be applied to the scalp, face and ears, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
- Do not wash off or bathe for 24 hours. If hands or any other parts must be washed during this period, the treatment must be re-applied immediately.
- Wash hands after application.
