Administration Guidance
Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9% can successfully treat head lice infestations with a single, 10-minute application—no nit combing required. However, if live lice are seen seven days after the first treatment, a second treatment should be applied.
Watch a clinician demonstrate the proper application technique.
Properly Applying Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9%
- Use as much product as needed to completely cover the scalp first, and then apply outwards towards the ends of the hair.
- For very thick, medium-length or long hair, an entire bottle (120 mL) of Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9% may be needed to cover the scalp and hair. For shorter, thinner hair, less Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9% may be needed.
- If live lice are seen seven days (one week) after the first treatment, re-apply Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9%.
Un proceso tan fácil como 1-2-3 para aplicar la suspención tópica Spinosad correctamente.
Pasos Importantes: Pon fin al ciclo del piojo
- Cubra completamente el cuero cabelludo primero y luego aplique hacia afuera hacia las puntas del cabello. Es importante utilizar suficiente SPINOSAD suspensión tópica 0.9% para cubrir todo el cuero cabelludo y todo el cabello.
- Para cabellos muy gruesos y de longitud media o cabellos largos, se puede necesitar una botella entera (120 ml) de SPINOSAD suspensión tópica 0.9% para cubrir el cuero cabelludo y el cabello. Es posible que se necesite menos SPINOSAD suspensión tópica 0.9% para cabellos más cortos y finos.
- Una semana (7 días) después de su primer tratamiento, si se ven piojos vivos, repita el tratamiento otra vez.
Important: For topical use only on scalp and scalp hair. Do not get Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9% in eyes, mouth, or vagina.
Adjunctive measures
Spinosad Topical Suspension 0.9% should be used in the context of an overall lice management program:
