Derbac M Liquid Head Lice Treatment - 150ml

 

You can effectively treat head lice infestations with this medicated lotion containing malathion as the active ingredient. Derbac M liquid works by targeting both adult lice and their eggs, providing a thorough treatment approach for the whole family. The 150ml bottle provides sufficient quantity for multiple applications or treating several family members when needed.

This treatment has been specifically formulated to penetrate the hair shaft and reach lice hiding close to the scalp. You'll find it particularly effective against lice that may have developed resistance to other treatments, making it a reliable choice for persistent infestations.

 

How Malathion Eliminates Head Lice

 

The active ingredient works by interfering with the nervous system of head lice, causing paralysis and death. You apply the lotion directly to dry hair, ensuring complete coverage from roots to tips. The treatment remains active on your hair for the recommended contact time, allowing it to eliminate both live lice and developing eggs.

Unlike some treatments that only target adult lice, this formulation addresses the complete lice lifecycle. You'll need to leave the treatment on for the specified duration to ensure maximum effectiveness against all stages of lice development.

 

Suitable for Adults and Children Over 6 Months

 

This treatment can be used by most family members, including children from 6 months of age. You should check all household members for signs of infestation, as head lice spread easily through close contact. The treatment is particularly suitable for families dealing with school-based outbreaks or recurring infestations.

Consider this treatment if you need:

• Effective elimination of both lice and eggs
• Treatment for multiple family members
• A solution for lice resistant to other treatments
• Coverage for thick or long hair types

You can find additional head lice treatments if you need alternative options or complementary products for your family's needs.

 

Alcohol-Based Formula for Enhanced Penetration

 

The alcohol-based formulation helps the active ingredient penetrate effectively through hair and reach the scalp where lice typically congregate. You'll find this particularly beneficial if you have thick or treated hair that might otherwise resist penetration by water-based treatments.

This formulation also helps the treatment spread evenly through your hair, ensuring comprehensive coverage. The alcohol base evaporates during the treatment period, concentrating the active ingredient where it's needed most.

 

Storage and Handling Requirements

 

You should store this treatment at room temperature, away from heat sources and naked flames due to its alcohol content. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and ensure it remains out of reach of children. The treatment should be used within the expiry date printed on the packaging for optimal effectiveness.

Always check the bottle for any signs of damage before use and replace if the seal has been compromised. You should dispose of any unused treatment according to local pharmaceutical waste guidelines.
