Yes — Ivrea Shampoo (contains ivermectin 0.5% w/v) can effectively treat head lice and often helps clear live lice and reduce nits when used correctly alongside combing and cleaning.
⚕️ Will it help?
- Ivrea targets lice by paralysing and killing them; expect noticeable reduction in live lice after a single proper application.
- Because humid conditions raise reinfestation risk, success depends on treating the scalp plus removing nits and cleaning the environment.
🏥 How to use safely
- Follow the product guidance: apply to wet scalp, leave for 3–5 minutes, then rinse.
- After rinsing, use a fine-toothed nit comb to remove dead lice and nits.
- Wash bedding, towels, recently worn clothes and brushes in hot water; avoid sharing hair items.
- Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes; stop use if severe irritation occurs.
⚠️ Warning signs (see doctor promptly)
- Severe swelling, blistering, spreading redness, or intense burning on the scalp.
- Signs of secondary infection (pus, increasing pain) or any breathing/face swelling.
- Persistent live lice 7 days or more after treatment.
🩺 When to see a doctor
- If any warning signs occur or lice persist despite correct use, consult a dermatologist (skin specialist) for alternative or prescription options.
- If multiple household members are affected, a dermatologist can advise coordinated treatment.
