- Do not use on eyelashes/eyebrows; avoid eye and mucous membrane contact.
🏥 Home measures to improve success
- Use a fine-tooth comb to remove dead lice and nits after treatment.
- Wash bedding, hats, towels and recently used clothing in hot water or seal non-washables in a bag for 48 hours.

⚠️ When to see a doctor
- If the child is under 6 months (do not use without a pediatrician’s advice).
