How to use Pediculen for lice? - in detail

Pediculen is a topical formulation designed to eradicate head lice. Begin by reading the product label to confirm the concentration of the active ingredient and any age restrictions.

1. Preparation

   • Wash hair with a mild shampoo, rinse thoroughly, and towel‑dry until damp but not soaking.
   • Comb out visible nits with a fine‑toothed lice comb to reduce the load before treatment.

2. Application

   • Dispense the recommended amount of Pediculen onto the scalp, ensuring coverage from the hair roots to the tips.
   • Massage gently for 30–60 seconds to distribute the solution evenly.
   • Cover the treated area with a plastic shower cap or cling film to prevent runoff and enhance absorption.

3. Exposure time

   • Leave the product on for the duration specified on the label, typically 10–15 minutes.
   • Do not exceed the maximum time to avoid irritation.

4. Removal

   • Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water.
   • Follow with a regular shampoo to eliminate residual product.
   • Dry hair with a clean towel; avoid heat styling for at least 24 hours.

5. Second dose

   • Apply a repeat treatment after 7–10 days to target any newly hatched lice that survived the first application.
   • Perform a thorough combing session after the second dose to remove remaining nits.

6. Precautions

   • Keep the solution away from eyes, mouth, and open wounds.
   • If irritation, redness, or itching persists beyond 24 hours, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
   • Store in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.

Following this protocol maximizes the efficacy of Pediculen and minimizes the risk of reinfestation.
