What’s it for?

How to Use

Adults, the elderly and children over 6 months: Head lice: apply sufficient liquid to dry hair to ensure that no part of the scalp is left 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 the hair in the normal way. Rinse the hair and comb while wet to remove dead lice and eggs (nits) using comb provided. Repeat treatment after 7 days.

Pubic lice: apply liquid to entire skin surface paying particular attention to all hairy areas including beards and moustaches. Avoid any other areas above the neck. Leave on for at least one hour, but preferably overnight, before washing off. Treatment should be repeated after 7 days.

Scabies: apply the liquid to the entire skin surface. In adults it may not be necessary to apply above the neck but children under the age of 2 years should have a thin film of the liquid 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 to those areas immediatelymore.
