Pediculen Ultra: instructions for use, price and reviews

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Pediculen Ultra is an anti-pediculosis agent, which is available in the form of lotion, spray and shampoo, having a slightly different composition, but the active substance is 6% anise oil . It has a nerve-paralytic effect on parasites. Causes death of adult parasites. The oil penetrates well through the chitinous cover and into the respiratory tract. Alcohol in this case speeds up this process.

In addition, anise oil destroys the adhesive substance of nits, with the help of which they are attached to the hair, so the process of combing them out is easier. The important thing is that anise oil is non-toxic for children and this is its advantage over products containing chemicals. Also, parasites do not develop resistance to it, so the effectiveness is not lost.

The shampoo contains petroleum jelly , which envelops the parasites, blocking the access of oxygen. Has the scent of jasmine.

Treatment begins with lotion, spray or shampoo - it depends on preference and there is no big difference in effectiveness.

When the exposure time is maintained, adults and nymphs die, and nits lose stability. The procedure is completed by combing out dead parasites and nits with a comb, which has an optimal distance between teeth for this purpose - 0.9 mm. After the procedures, you can apply a spray conditioner. It makes combing easier, soothes the scalp (contains jojoba oil ), and restores lost hair shine and elasticity.

Shampoo Pediculen Ultra, instructions for use

You can use any form of this product that is convenient for you, but after the procedures you must comb your still wet hair with a thick comb. When combing, the comb must be constantly dried with a towel. It is necessary to continue combing out the nits with a comb for longer than after treatment, which removes even the smallest individuals, which cannot be done with a comb.

If necessary, you can re-treat after 7 days. But remember that lice extermination procedures can be carried out no more than twice a month.

If contact lenses are used, they must be removed before the treatment procedure. Below the hairline, make a cotton bandage (kerchief) to prevent the substance from getting into your eyes. In case of contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose or eyes, rinse them with water. It is advisable to protect your hands with rubber gloves.

Reviews about Pediculen Ultra

Of the entire product line, the most popular product is Pediculen Ultra shampoo, reviews of which are often positive. It is noted that it is easy to use (applied like regular shampoo), lacks a pungent odor, is economical and has an affordable price for such a volume.

Opinions were divided regarding the effectiveness: for some, the drug helped the first time (most likely, there was a slight infection and careful daily combing after treatment), while others had to use it repeatedly. Treatments are still worth repeating, since with one not carefully carried out treatment, nits remain, which then go through a full development cycle.

There are also cases when the drug, due to uneven distribution, does not destroy adult individuals. One of the unpleasant aspects of using this product is the smell (mostly related to lotion and spray), which remains on the hair for another week, and on the hands if you do not use gloves.

“... We bought lotion. The smell is simply unbearable - strong and very pungent. The child could not sit for 30 minutes. Because of the alcohol in the composition, my daughter’s skin tingled.”
“... The product is effective, but I didn’t like the smell - not very pleasant. “In general, we are happy with the product; it helped us get rid of lice.”
“... The spray has a terrible smell, the burning sensation is unbearable, I could only stand it for 20 minutes. What about the children?
“... They used a spray. After the procedure, due to the smell, you have to ventilate the room. But the main thing is that it helps.”
“... The spray is easy to apply, really enough for 20 uses, but the smell is acrid and terrible.”
“... The children were simply suffocating from the spray and could barely last the allotted time.”
“... Shampoo consumption is small; long hair took less than half the bottle. The shampoo has a pleasant aroma."
“... We bought it in a set - it’s more profitable. Included was shampoo, conditioner, magnifying glass and comb. We were satisfied."
“... The shampoo helped us in one treatment. Now this is a proven remedy. You really need to keep it on your hair for a long time.”
“... I’m happy with the fact that the composition is chemical-free! The smell of the shampoo is not pungent.”
“... I can say that the spray is effective against lice, but does not destroy nits 100%. Careful combing and re-application is required. At the same time, it is economical, easy to apply and does not damage the hair.”
“... According to my observations, not all nits are removed. Therefore, after 2 weeks we repeated the treatment and thorough combing.”
“... If you don’t want to use chemicals for lice, then you can use this. It helps with lice in one or two applications.”

As for the destruction of nits, almost all the products available on the pharmaceutical market cannot cope with them. Nits have a protective shell that does not allow drugs to penetrate inside. Therefore, it is necessary to use means several times to destroy the newly emerging offspring. A more effective way to combat nits is to comb your hair.
