Lyclear Express Treat & Protect Spray & Comb 100ml

Description

Lyclear Express Spray & Comb 100ml (Treat & Protect) is a spray-on head lice treatment for adults and children from 12 months. The spray makes it easier to reach the roots, and the pack includes a metal comb for removing lice and eggs.

How it works

This medical device works physically. Mineral oil and polyisobutene suffocate and dehydrate head lice and their eggs, and the Lice Protection Factor is designed to help guard against re-infestation for up to 72 hours (laboratory ex vivo data). It contains no silicone and no insecticide.

How to use

• Shake and spray evenly onto dry hair from about 10cm, working it through from root to tip.
• Leave on for the time printed on your pack and leaflet (the Express pack front says 5 minutes).
• Apply shampoo before wetting the hair, then rinse.
• Comb through with the metal comb to remove lice and eggs, cleaning it between sections.
• Check again after about 7 days.

Summary only: follow the full leaflet directions.

Suitable for

Adults and children aged 12 months and over. Avoid the eyes, mouth and nose, and do not use on a scalp that is very irritated or broken. Do not cover treated hair with a cap or foil. Keep treated hair away from heat sources and naked flames until it has been washed out. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, and stop using it if a rash or irritation develops. If you have a sensitive scalp or a skin condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with our pharmacist first.

Good to know

The spray suits younger children who dislike having shampoo poured over their heads. Keep the metal comb for weekly checks during outbreaks. Our pharmacists are happy to advise on choosing between this spray and the Lyclear Express shampoo.

Always read the instructions.
