Both adults and children can become infected with pediculosis. There are a large number of tools that will help cope with this problem. One of the most effective is Paranit. The product is available in the form of shampoos, sprays and lotions.
Compound
The composition of one of the best lice remedies, Paranit, depends on the form of release. Shampoos contain kleprol - a white mineral oil, a component for the formation of foam and a substance to give a pleasant aroma. Mineral oil and dimethicone are used as active substances in Paronit lotions. The repellents contain essential oils, denatured ethyl alcohol, and repellent IR3535.
The therapeutic effect of the drug is determined by the effect of oils on pathogens.
They disrupt the functioning of the respiratory system and lead to the death of parasites. The peculiarity of Paranit is that lice do not get used to the action of the active ingredients, so the drug does not lose its effectiveness over time.
Possible side effects, contraindications and precautions
Paranit rarely causes side effects. The patient may experience an allergic reaction, so before using the drug it is necessary to conduct a test for individual intolerance to the active components.
It is recommended to avoid this medication during pregnancy or lactation.
The medicine is not suitable for treating children under 3 years of age and patients who are sensitive to the components.
To avoid the development of side effects, it is necessary to pay attention to the expiration date of the drug. It is not recommended to drink alcohol during treatment.
Precautionary measures:
- During use, the drug should not get into the eyes and nose . To do this, it is recommended to tie a bandage on your forehead.
- In case of contact with the mucous membrane, rinse your eyes or nose thoroughly with warm running water.
- The product in the form of a spray is best used outdoors , as the patient may feel short of breath.
- To protect your hands while applying the medicine, you must wear gloves.
- After the procedure, you must thoroughly wash your hands , all bathroom utensils and wash your clothes. It is recommended to wash hats at maximum temperature.
For prevention, the treatment procedure with the drug must be repeated after a week. This is necessary in order to get rid of the remaining lice that hatched from the nits.
"Paranite" for adults and older children
We suggest choosing a format convenient for you:
- shampoo;
- lotion;
- spray.
The shampoo is easy to apply and anyone can handle it on their own. After washing your hair, you need to comb it thoroughly with a special comb - it will help remove dead insects. The spray and lotion are suitable for treating each strand; with them you only need to treat your hair once to get rid of uninvited guests. Economical consumption will allow you to use one bottle to treat the hair of several people at once, and after that it can be stored in a cool place, out of reach of children.
We also made sure that it was easy to wash off pediculicidal preparations for nits - a special shampoo will remove the remnants of the oily spray or lotion, making the hair smooth and silky.
What forms of release are there?
Paranit is available in several dosage forms.
The complex of anti-lice products is represented by the following drugs:
- Repellent;
- Shampoo;
- Spray;
- Lotion.
The action of each product is aimed at eliminating lice and nits. However, they have different application patterns .
Repellent is a liquid solution that is not absorbed into the scalp. This product does not penetrate into the human bloodstream. Most often, this form of the drug is used for prevention.
The shampoo is perfect for fighting lice at home. It contains substances that clog the respiratory organs of parasites. However, shampoo does not affect nits, since they do not have developed respiratory organs.
The spray has virtually no odor.
Using the comb that comes with the kit, you can comb out not only lice, but also nits. When it comes into contact with human skin, the spray does not cause a negative reaction. The lotion has a more complex application pattern, so it is rarely used at home.
Conditioners against lice
The main purpose of conditioners is to make hair easier to comb and remove dead lice and nits. The active components soften the hair, make it smooth, making the comb glide easily through the hair.
Not all manufacturers of pediculicidal products pay attention to such products, mistakenly considering them trifles. Of the brands presented, only Pediculen Ultra offers a special conditioner.
Spray conditioner makes it easier to comb out dead insects and nits after treating the head. Hair becomes smooth, and jojoba oil nourishes hair and soothes the scalp.
The product itself can be used in children from 3 years of age and has a pleasant vanilla scent.

conclusions
Pediculosis is a common and very unpleasant disease. Modern pharmaceutical products help quickly and
effectively destroy insects, however, in order to forget about the problem once and for all, an integrated approach and the use of a series of products that complement the effect are required.
