Please note: If a member of the family has live head lice, check the other family members and treat all other cases of live head lice which are discovered, at the same time.
Hedrin is for external use only.

Allow the hair to dry naturally.
Leave on the hair for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Wash the hair with normal shampoo, rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
Duration of treatment
It is important that Hedrin® Lotion is applied again after seven days to deal with any lice which may hatch in that time. Failure to repeat the treatment may result in the return of a louse infestation
Ingredients
The active substance is Dimeticone 4% w/w. Dimeticone is not a chemical poison. It works by a physical process which effectively covers and drowns the louse. The other ingredients are Cyclomethicone 5. Cyclomethicone 5 is a carrier ingredient which evaporates after application leaving the active ingredient to kill the lice.
