My 19-year-old daughter has head lice and nits, possibly due to stress and the highly humid conditions at home. Will Ivrea Shampoo help treat her condition?
Ivrea Shampoo (ivermectin) can be effective in treating head lice, as it works by paralysing and killing the live insects. It should be applied to dry hair and scalp, left for ten minutes, and then rinsed off thoroughly as directed. A repeat application may be needed, and regular fine combing is important to completely remove nits or eggs from the hair. However, head lice are not caused by stress or humidity but are spread through close contact. All close contacts should be checked and treated if necessary.
