No person can be immune from the problem of head lice. The cause of head lice can be staying close to an infected person in public places, public transport, kindergartens, and schools. Veda and Veda-2 shampoos have been developed to remove lice and nits.

Composition and properties

The active ingredient in the shampoo is permethrin, an insecticide and acaricide used for therapeutic purposes. The active component has a negative effect on the sodium channels of the membranes of nerve cells of parasites, leading to paralysis and subsequent death. The permethrin content in Veda is 0.4%, in Veda -2 – 0.5%. This is the difference between a medical product. Additional substances in shampoos are emollients.

Veda and Veda-2 are domestically produced antiparasitic drugs that have an insecticidal and anti-pediculosis effect. Used to combat lice and nits. The drug is prescribed to adults and children over 5 years of age.

Reference! The drugs are not toxic to humans, do not develop addiction to the active substance, and do not damage the skin.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Shampoo Veda 2 belongs to the group of antiparasitic agents with a pronounced insecticidal and anti-pediculosis effect. The mechanism of action is based on its ability to disrupt the permeability of membranes (Na + channels) of insect nerve cells and the processes of their polarization, which leads to a paralyzing effect. The drug is highly effective against various forms (mature lice, nits, fleas, ticks, their larvae and other types of ectoparasites of the arthropod family). When applied to the skin in recommended doses, it has no toxic effect and does not have a local irritant, skin-resorptive or sensitizing effect. After treating surfaces affected by pediculosis , the effect lasts for a month.

Pharmacokinetics

Since the active substance of the drug does not enter the systemic circulation, there are no pharmacokinetic data.

Efficiency in the treatment of pediculosis

The advantage of the drugs is their high efficiency in the fight against parasites. The death of lice begins 30 minutes from the start of treatment. Shampoo Veda-2 is effectively used to destroy linen and pubic lice, as well as other ectoparasites. Destroys parasites at all stages of development - from nits (eggs) to sexually mature individuals. The drugs have a long period of action . The effect of a single use of the product lasts for 45 days.

Both types of shampoo are low-toxic and therefore safe to use.

Security measures

To avoid negative consequences when processing Veda 2 shampoo, you must follow some rules:

• Treatment with insecticidal shampoo should be carried out in a well-ventilated area.
• It is necessary to prevent the solution from getting on the mucous membranes. For protection, you can use a gauze bandage or a cotton swab. If this still cannot be avoided, the area where the insecticide has come into contact is washed off with plenty of water.

You can purchase Veda anti-lice shampoo in a pharmacy chain or order it online.

What is the difference between Veda shampoo and Veda-2?

Veda differs from Veda-2 in the percentage content of the main active ingredient – ​​permethrin. Its content in Veda is 0.4%, and in Veda -2 the concentration of permethrin is 0.5%. Therefore, Veda -2 has a stronger effect. In addition, softening components have been added to the composition of the Veda-2 medical product.

Instructions for use

The drug is intended strictly for external use. The amount of shampoo used for each treatment ranges from 10 to 50 ml and depends on the number of insects parasitizing on the hair, the length and structure of the hair.

When using the drug, you must follow the instructions:

1. First, wash your hair with cosmetic shampoo , dry your hair a little and comb it gently.
2. Apply the liquid to a cotton pad and massage thoroughly into the scalp , moving the hair strands apart to do this.
3. Beat the medicinal product with your fingers until a rich foam forms , apply it evenly over the entire length of the hair.
4. Wrap the oiled hair in a plastic bag and leave for at least 10 minutes . For best results, do not wash off the product for 25-40 minutes. If skin burning occurs, the drug is immediately washed off with water.
5. After the waiting time specified by the manufacturer has expired, the hair is washed with warm running water.
6. Wet hair is additionally rinsed with a vinegar solution. To do this, mix 1 part table vinegar and 2 parts warm water.
7. The vinegar solution applied to the hair is kept for 10 minutes . This procedure is necessary so that the acidic solution acts on the adhesive mass, with the help of which the remaining nits are attached to the hair and scalp.
8. Carefully comb the strands with a fine-toothed comb to remove dead hair and wash your hair again with cosmetic shampoo.

Repeated treatment is carried out no earlier than 8-10 days. During this period, nits that survive the first treatment may produce larvae. The third treatment is carried out at the same interval. If after the treatments the lice or nits do not disappear, the doctor will prescribe another drug.

If the treatment is successful and the parasites are completely destroyed, recurrent pediculosis will not appear within 45 days.

Attention! Dead nits must be carefully removed from the hair with a thick comb or by hand, as they are firmly attached to the hair with the help of a sticky enzyme.

Precautionary measures

To prevent the occurrence of negative reactions when treating with Veda shampoos, doctors recommend adhering to certain rules: since the insecticidal medical composition has a specific odor, it is advisable to carry out the treatment in a well-ventilated area. Make sure that the drug does not get on the mucous membranes . To protect them, use a layer of gauze or a cotton swab. If, nevertheless, the drug gets on the mucous membrane, it is immediately thoroughly washed with running water.

How to use

Only external use of Veda and Veda 2 is allowed. A different amount of shampoo can be used for each person. Typically this figure varies from 10 to 60 ml. The area affected by parasites, the length and thickness of the hair affect the amount of product used.

Instructions for use

1. Using regular shampoo, wash your hair and comb your hair well with a comb.
2. Then soak cotton pads in the preparation and apply with rubbing movements to the scalp along the hairline.
3. Shake the shampoo until all your hair is covered with foam.
4. Wrap your head in a scarf or bag and leave for 10 minutes. But for a more effective result, the time can be extended to 30–40 minutes. There won't be much harm from this. If irritation occurs, the drug must be washed off immediately.
5. Rinse your hair with plenty of water until all the shampoo is washed away from your hair and scalp.
6. Make a solution of 9% table vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio. Rinse wet hair with it.
7. Leave your head alone for 5-7 minutes to weaken the sticky enzyme with an acidic environment. After this, the surviving nits will be easier to remove from the head.
8. Using a fine-toothed comb, comb your hair thoroughly and wash it with regular shampoo.

We recommend reading: how to distinguish dead nits from living ones.

If, after two weeks, after treatment on the head, surviving parasites are found, it is recommended to repeat the procedure. After another two weeks, you can treat your hair 3 times.

If there is a risk of re-infection in a kindergarten or school institution, then after washing your hair with regular shampoo, apply Veda or Veda 2 to wet hair and leave it until completely dry without further rinsing. The applied drug will be effective for two weeks.

At this time, lice caught on the hair will not be able to reproduce. Continue to treat your hair after each shampoo.

Important point! When all the parasites are destroyed, it will be impossible to become infected with them over the next 1.5 months.

A common reason for ineffective results after using these shampoos is rapid rinsing. It turns out that as soon as the parasites begin to be affected by this drug, it is washed off at the wrong moment and everything stops. It is necessary to maintain the time specified by the manufacturer, then the desired result will be achieved.

Precautionary measures

When applying Veda and Veda 2 shampoo, you need to act very carefully. The room in which the treatment will be carried out must be well ventilated. After completing the treatment, you should thoroughly wash your hands and rinse your mouth.

Reviews

Elena, Saratov: “A six-year-old daughter brought this unpleasant problem into the house from kindergarten. I didn't notice anything right away. The child complained that his head was itching. I just washed her hair with baby shampoo. In the morning, when I was getting my daughter ready for kindergarten, I was braiding her hair and noticed something running across her scalp. I got scared and instead of kindergarten we went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed Veda-2 shampoo for no more than 10 minutes. We got rid of the problem, but now I carefully check her hair regularly.”

Olga, Rostov-on-Don: “A ten-year-old son returned from a pioneer camp with a head infested with lice. There were noticeable nits on the hair. I had to see a doctor. They were treated with the insecticidal agent Veda-2. I had to undergo three courses of treatment, since some of the nits survived the first time. The third course was more for prevention. But my husband also had to undergo treatment, since my son’s problem was discovered only in the evening after he returned from the children’s camp, and my husband managed to use his comb. After the third course of treatment, my son’s lice and nits disappeared completely.”

Marina, Moscow: “A child at school became infected with lice; as it turned out, four other children also had lice. At the pharmacy, the pharmacist recommended Veda shampoo. After the first use of the product, I combed out the nits with a thick comb and removed them with my hands. The treatment was repeated after 8 days, there were already fewer nits. After the third time they were no longer visible. I think this product is effective.”

What is the best shampoo for lice and nits?

In order to get rid of lice and nits in children at home, you will need to approach the problem in a comprehensive manner. The very first thing you can give preference to is shampoos against lice and nits. The advantage of anti-parasite shampoos is that they are easy to use, effective and safe. Shampoo for lice and nits for children is convenient because it does not cause allergic reactions, so it is these types of products that should be given special attention.

Before rushing to the pharmacy for a special remedy against lice and nits, you should choose the most rational and effective drug. After all, as practice shows, shampoos differ from each other not only in names and cost, but also in quality. To immediately decide which shampoo for lice and nits is best to choose for children, let’s look at the most effective and safest existing drugs.

"Veda" and "Veda-2"

This is one of the best drugs, which is based on an active substance called permethrin. Despite the fact that this substance is already outdated, the production of this shampoo continues. In the pharmacy you can also find an updated version of the drug called Veda-2. The base of the product has changed only slightly, in particular, emollients have been included to ensure a safe effect on the skin.

Both the initial and updated versions of the drug are quite effective. The death of parasites after applying the product to the hair occurs after 30-40 minutes. The drug is effective not only for head lice, but also effectively destroys body and pubic parasites. The instructions describe that you need to apply shampoo to your head for up to 10 minutes. Practice shows the opposite - to effectively destroy parasites, you will need to keep the product on your head for at least 30-50 minutes. This has a positive effect on the effectiveness of the product on lice and nits, but also increases the likelihood of developing side symptoms. In particular, improper use can provoke allergic reactions.

To achieve maximum effectiveness, or rather, to destroy nits, you will need to use the product again after 15-15 days. This is done in order to destroy the larvae that hatch from the nits. Although the shampoo is effective, it cannot destroy nits that are clogged in capsules. They can be destroyed only after they are born, which happens after a few weeks.

Using Veda shampoo is quite simple: you first need to wet your head, then apply the product to your hair and massage it thoroughly. After 30-50 minutes, you can begin to wash off the foam from your head under running water. As soon as the product is removed from the hair, you need to wash your hair again using regular shampoo.

Interesting to know! Insecticide-based shampoos must be used in well-ventilated areas. This is necessary in order to avoid poisoning with chemicals, which can lead to side symptoms.

Many complain that Veda shampoo was not as effective as reviews indicate. Such complaints are due to the fact that the drug is quickly washed off after application, while it does not have time to act on parasites. The product is sold in pharmacies and stores, and the price is 250 rubles per bottle.

Review of Veda shampoo:

For the child, I was advised to use Veda shampoo, which is not only effective, but also seems to be safe. Arriving at the pharmacy, I purchased Veda-2 shampoo, which is an exact analogue, only an improved version, as the pharmacist explained to me. I came home, washed the child’s hair in the evening, and then waited for 30 minutes. After that, we washed off the product, and then started combing it out with a comb. Combing is such a tedious procedure, on which the quality of getting rid of nits depends. After 2 weeks, there were simply no lice and nits in the hair, so the product was not used again. It is generally not recommended for children to reuse shampoos, but only for adults.

"Paranite"

The main advantage of the Paranit line is safety. Paranit shampoo is produced by a Belgian company called Omega Pharma. These products do not contain insecticides, so the drug can be used without fear by both adults and children.

Instead of a chemical substance, Paranit contains a mineral oil called clearol. The advantage of this oil is the fact that each parasite is not destroyed by a chemical reagent, but is enveloped in a special film. In this film, lice are not able to breathe, so they die without the slightest chance of survival.

There are many drugs with similar names, for example, Paranix or Paramix, but it is important to know that Omega Pharm only produces products called Paranit.

Features of the use of the drug are as follows:

• first you need to thoroughly moisten your hair with water;
• apply shampoo to hair;
• massage hair and scalp;
• rinse off the product after 10-15 minutes, as recommended by the manufacturer.

You can increase the effectiveness of the product by increasing the holding time to 30 minutes. It is only worth noting that, despite the safety of the product, the drug is not as effective as Veda. If “Veda” affects the central nervous system of parasites, then “Paranite” only contributes to the suffocation of insects. Thus, it is recommended to use it in children who have signs of intolerance to the constituent substances of Veda. “Paranit” is more intended for children, and its use is allowed from the age of three.

The advantage of the drug is the absence of side symptoms, with the exception of intolerance to mineral oil. The cost of a foreign natural drug is 650 rubles per bottle, but not everyone can afford such luxury. The Paranit shampoo kit includes a special comb for combing out nits and dead lice. This must be done, since parasites can only be removed from hair mechanically.

Review of "Paranita":

A child in kindergarten was diagnosed with lice, after which they were told to solve this problem. Using insecticidal chemicals on a child is the last thing you want to do. Today, the bad environment negatively affects children, and if you also apply chemicals to a child’s hair at the age of 5. I searched for effective and safe drugs for a long time, but settled on Paranit. The drug is used 2 times with an interval of 2 weeks. 2 weeks after the repeated procedure, the lice disappeared completely. Despite the high cost, I am glad that there are safe drugs.

Cream "Nix"

"Nix" is not a shampoo - it is a cream, but for the destruction of lice and nits. The product is intended for children, and the application features are the same as for shampoos. After applying the cream to your hair, it does not foam, which is why it is not called shampoo.

The drug is based on the same permethrin, so its effectiveness is the same as that of Veda shampoo. Nix cream has some additives, due to which this drug has a pleasant smell. Adverse reactions in the form of skin irritation are observed only in rare cases.

Features of the application are that before using the cream, you need to thoroughly wash your hair with regular cosmetic shampoo. The instructions say that the product should be applied only for 10-15 minutes, then rinsed off. Practice shows that the applied cream should be kept for at least 30 minutes, which allows achieving positive results. After the time has passed, be sure to wash your hair with running water.

The instructions indicate that side symptoms include: redness, itching, swelling and an allergic rash. It is strictly forbidden to use the drug during such a delicate period as pregnancy. When breastfeeding, it is also better for young mothers to refrain from this treatment option for head lice. The price of the cream is about 350 rubles.

Reviews about "Nix":

The whole family became infected with head lice. It was discovered by chance on my youngest daughter, but when they started checking the whole family, they all found lice. Treatment needed to be done immediately, but no one knew what remedy to use. Then I turned to my friend, she said that they used Nix. I didn’t think twice about it and bought several bottles of this cream. One evening we performed the procedures on everyone, after which they began to comb out parasites for each other. Already on the second day, the symptoms of itchy scalp disappeared. After 2 weeks, the procedure had to be repeated, since 15 minutes, as indicated in the instructions, was not enough.

"Hygia"

Effectively fights not only lice, but also nits. The drug is based on the same permethrin, which makes it possible to effectively destroy both adult individuals and nits. The use of the drug is quite simple: first you need to wet your hair with water, then lather it with shampoo, and then leave it on for 30 minutes. After the specified time, you need to wash off the product, and then begin the unpleasant combing procedure.

It is imperative to use a comb, as this allows you to get rid of both dead lice and unhatched nit larvae. The drug contains acetic acid, which has a positive effect on softening the shell of nits.

Interesting to know! After applying the product to the head, the child may feel unpleasant tingling symptoms, especially if there are scratches on the scalp. This tingling sensation occurs due to the presence of acetic acid in the Hygia preparation. You should start rinsing off the shampoo immediately after the child complains of severe tingling.

After using shampoo against lice and nits, you need to comb your head with a special comb, which is included with the Hygia shampoo.

The cost of the drug “Higia” is about 200 rubles, so as an option for a cheap and effective remedy against lice, you can trust the domestic product.

Review of “Higia”:

I recently discovered nits in my child’s hair. Initially I thought it was dandruff, but when I started trying to remove it, I realized that it was much more complicated. Lice and nits—that’s the diagnosis I gave to my child. There was no doubt that my husband and I were infected with lice. I called my husband and asked him to buy a drug for children and adults against lice. In the evening I brought Hygia shampoo. We spent the whole evening washing our hair and combing out lice and nits for each other. After applying the product to the child, he began to complain of tingling, so he could barely stand it for 15 minutes. My husband and I didn’t feel any tingling, so we kept the product on for 30 minutes. In 2 weeks we will see how effective this “Hygia” is.

"Pedilin"

Shampoo for children based on organophosphate insecticides. The active ingredients of Pedilin shampoo are malathion and tetramethrin. The destruction of pests occurs through the accumulation of high concentrations of insecticides in their bodies. The drug has contraindications, so children under 2 years of age should not use the shampoo.

The drug should be used as a regular shampoo, applying it to damp hair. The manufacturer recommends applying shampoo for 3 minutes and then rinsing off. In reality, the shampoo should be kept for 20-30 minutes, which will increase the effectiveness of its effect. After 2 weeks, the drug can be reused. As soon as the shampoo is washed off, nits and lice need to be combed out. In case of overdose, the development of side effects cannot be ruled out: lacrimation, blurred vision, tachycardia, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain. Therefore, when using Pedilin, you should be careful not to let it get into your eyes, mouth and nose. The cost of the drug is about 300 rubles, and it is produced in Slovenia.

If a drug with a chemical composition gets into your eyes or mouth, you should immediately rinse the mucous membranes with running water and then consult a doctor. Therefore, it is very important, after using shampoo against lice and nits for children, to hide the packaging with the drug or dispose of it.

Review of "Pedilin":

After discovering lice on a child, without thinking twice, she purchased Pedilin shampoo. I know that this is an inexpensive imported shampoo that is effective and can be used for children. I washed my 12-year-old child's hair and then started combing out the lice. Spent about 2 hours on everything. After I combed out all the evil spirits, I found out that I could cut my hair and the lice would disappear. After 2 weeks, no lice or nits are found in the hair.

Tar shampoo

With its help you can not only get rid of lice, but also cure fungal diseases of the head. If there are wounds and scratches on the scalp, then shampoo is prescribed first, as it alleviates the symptoms of head lice.

The advantage of the shampoo is the fact that the product has not only an anti-inflammatory effect, but also antimicrobial and bactericidal.

Therefore, with its help you can:

• get rid of dandruff;
• relieve itching and scabies;
• strengthen hair roots;
• cure fungus;
• get rid of lice.

To remove nits, you will need to additionally use vinegar or citric acid. There are many types of tar shampoos, so when purchasing, you need to check the cost and the possibility of use for the treatment of head lice in children. Tar shampoos are based on various phenols, which have a destructive effect on lice.

Reviews about tar shampoo:

I was looking for an anti-dandruff shampoo for my son, but in reality it turned out that I needed to fight lice. After using the shampoo, an unpleasant odor is felt that cannot be hidden with eau de toilette. After applying shampoo to your head, you need to wrap your head in a plastic bag. This allows you to enhance the effectiveness of the product. After 2 weeks, the lice were completely gone. Do not forget to comb out the nits as thoroughly as possible every 2 days for a week.
