Precautions

Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®

This medicine contains benzyl alcohol which may cause serious reactions to newborn, premature, or low-birthweight infants. Check with your doctor if you are concerned.

Head lice and scabies can be easily spread from one person to another by direct contact with clothing, hats, scarves, bedding, towels, washcloths, hairbrushes and combs, or hairs from infected persons. All members of your household should be checked for head lice or scabies, and should receive treatment if they are found to be infected. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.

To prevent spread of lice or scabies: Dry-clean or wash your clothes, bedding, and personal items (eg, washcloths, towels, hats, scarves, combs, brushes, hairpieces, and wigs) in hot, soapy water and dry them in a hot dryer.

Do not use this medicine for a skin, hair, or scalp problem that has not been checked by your doctor.
