Ivrea Shampoo (contains ivermectin 0.5%) can treat head lice and is generally intended for use in children aged six months and older when used exactly as directed.

⚕️ What this does

  • Ivrea contains ivermectin, an antiparasitic that paralyzes and kills head lice and helps clear infestations.
  • Product information lists head lice treatment and states use is permitted from 6 months of age onward.

💊 How to use (practical points)

  • Follow the product label or your doctor’s instructions; typical directions: apply to hair/scalp, leave for the recommended time, rinse, then comb with a fine-tooth nit comb.
  • 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.
  • Avoid sharing combs, hats, and towels.

⚠️ When to see a doctor

  • If the child is under 6 months (do not use without a pediatrician’s advice).
  • If live lice persist 7–10 days after treatment.
  • If the baby develops a severe rash, swelling, breathing difficulty, or signs of infection.

If you want, I can summarize exact label instructions or alternatives safe for younger infants.

🩺 Next step

  • Consult your child’s pediatrician before using Ivrea Shampoo on a baby to confirm safety and correct dosing.
