What is this medicine used for? Prioderm dimeticone is used for the treatment of head lice and nits.
Directions for use Prioderm dimeticone is a lotion that should be applied to dry hair. Approximately 20-100 ml of lotion is needed per treatment, depending on hair length and type. For shoulder-length hair, 30-50 ml per treatment is sufficient. It is important to apply a generous amount of lotion, enough to completely cover all hair, from scalp to ends.
To do this, proceed as follows: - Unscrew the cap from the tip of the applicator bottle and apply the lotion to the entire scalp with the handy applicator tip. - Massage Prioderm dimeticone thoroughly into the hair and scalp until all of the hair, from scalp to ends, is covered. - Leave Prioderm dimeticone to work for at least 15 minutes. - Then apply a generous amount of shampoo without water and massage the shampoo into the hair. Only then rinse your hair with water. You may need to shampoo your hair 2-4 times before it no longer feels greasy.
Wash it several times until the shampoo foams well. - Comb the hair with a brush or wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles. For long hair, it's easy to divide it into four equal sections using elastic bands or clips. - Comb each section thoroughly with the included nit comb. After each combing, rinse the nit comb and/or dry it with a tissue. If there are lice or eggs in the comb, remove them immediately with plenty of water. Repeat the process with the other sections. It takes about 20-25 minutes to thoroughly comb through the hair. Important: Repeat the treatment after 9-10 days. This is necessary to break the head lice life cycle. Mark your calendar or set your phone's alarm so you don't forget.
It's also important to check all family members once head lice are found, and don't forget yourself! Family members found with head lice should be treated at the same time to prevent re-infestation within the family. Reinfestation: Reinfestation can occur after treatment has started. In that case, immediately re-treat with Prioderm dimeticone and repeat the treatment after 9-10 days. There is no risk of head lice developing resistance to Prioderm dimeticone.
