Description
Lyclear Shampoo + Comb 200ml is a treatment for head lice infestation. Head lice are small parasites that live on the scalp and hair, feeding on blood. Lyclear Shampoo + Comb is designed to kill head lice and their eggs (nits) and remove them from the hair.
Here are some key points about Lyclear Shampoo + Comb:
Active Ingredients: Lyclear Shampoo contains the active ingredient permethrin, which is a type of insecticide that is effective against head lice. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of the lice, leading to their death.
Application: The shampoo is applied to wet hair and left on for a specified amount of time (usually around 10 minutes) before rinsing thoroughly. After rinsing, a fine-toothed comb, typically provided with the product, is used to remove dead lice and nits from the hair. It’s important to follow the instructions provided with the product carefully for best results.
Safety and Side Effects: Permethrin, the active ingredient in Lyclear Shampoo, is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions. It’s important to perform a patch test before using the product, especially on sensitive skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes, and rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs.
Effectiveness: Lyclear Shampoo is effective at killing both adult lice and their eggs. However, it may not kill 100% of the eggs, so it’s important to repeat the treatment after 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice before they can lay more eggs.
Availability: Lyclear Shampoo + Comb is typically available over the counter at pharmacies and may also be available online. It’s important to purchase from reputable sources to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the product.
Prevention: In addition to treating head lice infestations, it’s important to take steps to prevent reinfestation, such as avoiding close head-to-head contact with others, regularly checking for lice, and washing bedding and clothing in hot water.
If you have concerns about head lice infestation or if the infestation persists despite treatment with Lyclear Shampoo, it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for further guidance.
