Adults and children 6 months and over:
Topical.
LYCLEAR Creme Rinse should be used after the hair has been washed with a mild proprietary shampoo and towelled dried. The bottle should be shaken thoroughly and enough LYCLEAR Creme Rinse applied to saturate the hair and scalp. Particular attention should be given to the areas behind the ears and at the nape of the neck.
LYCLEAR Creme Rinse should be left on the hair for ten minutes before rinsing the hair thoroughly with water. The hair should then be dried in the usual way.
One bottle of LYCLEAR Creme Rinse is sufficient for shoulder length hair of average thickness. More may be applied if required and although no maximum dose has been defined, it is most unlikely that more than two bottles will be required for any one course of treatment.
It is not necessary to remove dead eggs or nits except for cosmetic purposes. A fine toothed comb may be used if desired.
Children under 6 months:
LYCLEAR Creme Rinse is not suitable for application to children under six months of age, except on the advice of a physician.
The Elderly:
Normal adult dosage is appropriate.
If after 7-10 days of treatment with permethrin living lice are found, treatment with permethrin should be repeated. If after 14-20 days infestation is still active treatment with an alternative product should be considered.
