How many times should Ivrea Shampoo be used to completely remove lice and eggs?

Asked by Female, 19 · 2 months ago

Ivrea Shampoo usually requires two applications to remove lice and eggs. The first wash kills most live lice, but some eggs (nits) may survive. A second application, 7–10 days later, targets newly hatched lice. This may vary slightly from person to person depending on scalp condition, hair type, and lifestyle. Using a fine-toothed nit comb and cleaning bedding, towels, and hair accessories also helps ensure complete removal and prevent reinfestation.
