Other Answers:
Both nonprescription medications and prescription products are available to treat head lice. Most products come as a shampoo, creme rinse, or lotion (topical treatment) that is applied to the affected areas, left on for a period of time, and then rinsed off. A prescription pill (ivermectin) is sometimes used to treat lice when two or more approved topical medications have not been effective. Permethrin creme rinse (Nix) is a common first choice for treating head lice. It kills lice and their eggs (nits) for 2 weeks or more after it has been rinsed off. Shampoos containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide (Pronto, Rid, A-200) are left on the hair for 10 minutes and then rinsed out. A second treatment is needed 1 week after the first to kill newly hatched lice.
