Ivrea Shampoo containing 0.5% Ivermectin can effectively kill head lice and reduce live eggs, but a single wash may not completely clear all eggs.
🩺 Effectiveness for Head Lice and Eggs
- Ivermectin works by paralyzing and killing lice, making it effective against active lice infestations.
- It may not fully eliminate all eggs (nits) in one wash because eggs are more resistant; a second treatment after about 7–10 days is often recommended to catch any newly hatched lice.
- Complete clearance usually requires following the product instructions carefully and possibly repeating the treatment.
🩺 Recommendations
- Use the shampoo exactly as directed by a doctor or the product leaflet.
- Comb hair with a fine-toothed nit comb after treatment to remove dead lice and eggs.
- Avoid sharing combs, hats, or pillows to prevent reinfestation.
🩺 When to See a Doctor
- If lice persist after two treatments or if scalp irritation worsens, consult a dermatologist for further evaluation and alternative treatments.
Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and proper management of head lice.
