MediLice Cream Wash

MediLice Cream Wash

MediLice Cream Wash from Wings Pharmaceuticals is a single-application head lice treatment for the scalp. Applied to damp hair and left on for a short contact time, the permethrin-based cream targets live lice along with nymphs and nits, so a single properly performed application clears most infestations. It is supplied as a cream wash rather than an oil, which makes it easier to spread evenly to the roots and simpler to rinse out. Combing with a fine nit comb afterwards removes the dead lice and eggs. 30 ml bottle.
