Effective Pediculicidal Treatments for Head Lice Infestations
Pediculicidal means "killing or destroying lice". It is used to describe products or treatments that are effective in eliminating head lice and their eggs. Pediculicidal treatments can be topical, such as shampoos or cream rinses, or oral, such as medications taken by mouth. These treatments work by killing the lice and their eggs, and by breaking down the glue-like substance that holds the eggs to the hair shaft. This allows the eggs to be easily combed out of the hair with a fine-toothed comb.
