MedDataToolTopcare Lice Killing Creme Rinse is used to treat head lice. It works by killing the lice and their eggs when applied to the hair and scalp. To use it, first wash your hair with a regular shampoo without conditioner, then towel dry it so it's damp. Shake the bottle well and apply the creme rinse thoroughly to the hair and scalp, leaving it on for 10 minutes before rinsing. A key warning is that it should not be used on children under 2 months of age, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's best to consult a healthcare professional before use.
