“How can I treat lice?”
I have lice and want to get rid of it as fast as I can. I have a shampoo but don't think that it's helping at all. Is there any other way to treat lice?

Ivermectin lotion, 0.5% was approved by the FDA in 2012 for treatment of head lice in persons 6 months of age and older. It is not ovicidal, but appears to prevent nymphs (newly hatched lice) from surviving. It is effective in most patients when given as a single application on dry hair without nit combing.
