Precautions
Drug information provided by: Merative, Micromedex®
Head lice can easily spread from one person to another by direct contact with clothing, hats, bandannas, scarves, bedding, towels, washcloths, ribbons, hair bands, helmets, hairbrushes and combs, or hairs from infected persons. All members of your household should be checked for head lice and should receive treatment if they are found to be infected. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
If your or your child's symptoms do not improve within a few days or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
To prevent the spread of lice:
-
Avoid direct head-to-head contact with persons who have lice.
-
Dry clean or wash your clothes, hats, and bedding in hot, soapy water. Tumble dry them in a hot dryer.
-
Non-washable items can be dry cleaned or sealed inside a plastic bag for 2 weeks.
-
Disinfect personal care items, including combs or brushes by soaking them in hot water for 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Do not share any hair-related personal items (eg, combs, brushes, hats, scarves, bandannas, ribbons, barrettes, hair bands, towels, helmets, hairpieces, wigs) with anyone.
