Description

What is Hedrin 4% Lotion?

This Hedrin Lotion is a treatment that works to provide relief for head lice that have become infested in the hair. This lotion works to kill the lice and make it easier to remove them. It works thanks to the active ingredient dimeticone. Dimeticone is a silicone-based substance that doesn’t work like other types of treatment where the lice are poisoned. Instead, this essentially drowns them by coating them and preventing them from being able to move. This means that the lice will never become immune to this treatment.

How do head lice get into the scalp?

Head lice are contagious and spread. The chances are likely that is one person in a family had head lice, then the others are likely to do so as well. They spread due to touching heads and also sharing things such as combs, brushes, headphones, and hats. Head lice can also live in furniture and fabrics for a short time too.

Who is this lotion suitable for?

This lotion is suitable to be used by adults and children aged 6 months and older. Only use on children under 6 months of age on medical advice. It should not be used by anyone who is allergic to the ingredients that are contained in the lotion. This lotion is suitable to be used when using any other form of medication.

Uses / Instructions

Work into the hair spreading the liquid evenly from the roots to tips. Allow the hair to dry naturally.
Leave on the hair for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Wash the hair with normal shampoo, rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
It is important that Hedrin Lotion is applied again after seven days to deal with any lice which may hatch in that time. Failure to repeat the treatment may result in the return of a louse infestation.
