Each ml of Antilice shampoo contains:

Pediculicide, P03AC54.

Antilice shampoo is a pediculicide combination. Antilice destroys nits, larvae and mature individuals of lice.

Ingredients of Antilice piretrins are neurotoxic toxins for insects. Mechanism of action is partial inhibition of sodium channels inactivation and slowing transmembrane potassium stream in ectoparasite cells, predominantly in neurons. Action of pirethrins is intensified by piperonyl butoxide, which blocks protective ferments released by insects.

By having different mechanisms of insecticidal action, ingredients of Antilice prevent development of resistance to any of them.

In case of external use drug is absorbed to systemic blood flow in insignificant quantity. 24 h after treatment, the concentration of it’s components in the blood plasma is minimal, and in some cases is not determined. 48 h after applying Antilice no traces of its components of the patient’s blood plasma is detected. In acute poisoning pyrethrins are inactivated in the digestive tract, and piperonyl butoxide is excreted unchanged in the feces.

Antilice is used for pediculosis capitis.

For the treatment of pediculosis capitis, enough shampoo of Antilice should be applied to cover the affected hairy and adjacent areas, taking care to avoid contact with the face (еуеs, eyelashers, or mucous membranes) . After 10 minutes, the hair is then washed thoroughly with water, dried with a clean towel, and combed with а fine tooth comb to remove any remaining nit shells.

Although the first treatment with Antilice is often successful, treatment should be repeated after 7-10 days to kill any newly hatched lice.
