Lyclear Creme Rinse 1% w/w Cutaneous solution Twinpack

Lyclear Creme Rinse is used as a treatment to get rid of head lice and their eggs. It contains the ingredient permethrin which belongs to a group of medicines called pyrethroids which kill insects such as head lice.

Lyclear Creme Rinse is for use on adults and children over 6 months of age.

Lyclear Crème Rinse should be used after hair has been washed with a mild non conditioning shampoo and towelled dry. The bottle should be shaken thoroughly and enough Lyclear Crème Rinse applied to saturate the hair and scalp. Particular attention should be given to areas behind the ears and at the nape of the neck.

Lyclear Crème Rinse should be left on the hair for 10 minutes before rinsing the hair thoroughly with water. The hair should then be dried in the usual way. One bottle of Lyclear Crème 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 unlikely that two bottles will be required for any one course of treatment.

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.

Residual activity may persist for up to six weeks. It is not necessary to remove dead eggs or nits except for cosmetic purposes. A fine toothed comb may be used if desired.
