Lice-o-Nil Cream

Lice-o-Nil Cream contains Lindane, an organochlorine treatment for lice and scabies. Made by Wilson`s Pharmaceuticals, it is prescribed for head lice and scabies. Pack size: 20gm cream.

Uses of Lice-o-Nil Cream

Lice-o-Nil Cream lotion or shampoo is used to treat head lice and scabies, but only when safer first-choice treatments such as permethrin cannot be used or have not worked. Because it can affect the nervous system, it is kept as a second-line option and must be used exactly as directed by a doctor.

How Lice-o-Nil Cream works

Lindane is absorbed by lice and scabies mites and overstimulates their nervous system, causing paralysis and death. It can also pass through human skin, especially if the skin is broken or the product is left on too long, which is why it carries a risk of effects on the brain and nerves.

Possible side effects

When Lice-o-Nil Cream is used correctly, side effects are usually limited to the skin, for example:

• Skin irritation or itching
• Burning or stinging
• Rash
• Dry skin

Seek emergency help for fits, severe dizziness, unusual drowsiness, confusion or trembling after using it.

Precautions and warnings

• It should not be used on premature babies or people with uncontrolled epilepsy, and extra caution is needed for babies, children, older people and anyone with low body weight.
• Apply it once only as directed and do not reapply, even if itching continues, as scabies itch can last for weeks after the mites are killed.
• Do not use it on broken, raw or inflamed skin or straight after a hot bath, as more of the medicine is absorbed.
• Keep it away from the eyes, mouth and nose, and wear gloves when applying it to someone else.
• Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless a doctor confirms there is no suitable alternative.

Storage

Store below 30°C and keep the cap tightly closed. For external use only; avoid contact with the eyes unless the product is made for eye use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
