Deal with lice safely
HEAD lice infestation is one of the most contagious conditions among children. Use Nitclear to get rid of head lice without worry as Nitclear offers a pesticide- free treatment.
Although head lice infestations are common, dealing with them can be emotionally and physically gruelling for parents and children.
Furthermore, current treatment options available in the local market are often harmful or pesticide- based products containing permethrin, lindane and benzyl benzoate.
Nitclear is a liquid lotion treatment clinically proven to eliminate head lice and eggs in just three simple steps.
Its primary ingredients cyclomethicone and isopropyl myristate are safe, effective, non- irritating and hypoallergenic.
Nitclear works by filling the tracheal system of head lice within minutes, interrupting oxygen supply and leading to rapid death of lice. It is also capable of killing eggs.
Therefore, Nitclear can stop the development of the parasites and prevent recurrence of infestation.
Since Nitclear is pesticide- free, it can be safely reapplied when necessary. Nitclear is non- greasy, has a pleasant smell and requires no shampooing, which makes the use of Nitclear stress- free.
Head lice infestation, also known as pediculosis, is a common childhood disease, with incidences peaking in children aged five to 11. It is not due to poor hygiene.
Head lice can spread when there is direct contact between the head or hair and an infested individual as well as through sharing personal articles such as hats, towels, brushes, helmets and hair ties.
Head lice infestations are on the rise worldwide. This is partly due to the emergence of genetic resistance in adult lice to commonly used pediculicides such as pyrethrin, permethrin and lindane.
Overexposure to these pediculicides in an attempt to treat resistant infestations may increase the risk of toxic side effects of these agents.
Pesticide- based products containing permethrin have been shown to be respiratory allergens and the use of them may result in asthma- like symptoms, especially in children with a history of asthma or allergies.
It can also cause neurotoxicity resulting in aggressive behaviour and disruption of learning.
Various studies have shown that permethrin can affect the reproductive system by disturbing the sex hormone and suppressing the immune system.
More recently, the United States Environmental Protection Agency classified permethrin as likely to be carcinogenic to humans.
According to the US FDA Postmarket Drug Safety Information, lindane can cause serious side effects, including seizures and deaths in patients who use too much lindane or after a second treatment with lindane.
Nitclear is available at leading pharmacies and clinics in Malaysia, sold together with a special comb. For more information, call 03- 5629 3750.
