Product Information

The limited data available on the use of Permethrin 5% w/w Cream in pregnancy which provide no indication of any risk to the foetus. The amount of permethrin absorbed systemically following a whole body application is extremely low. However, some permethrin may pass the placental barrier. The negative mutagenicity tests and the very low mammalian toxicity suggest that there is minimal risk to the foetus following treatment with permethrin. For the two applications, an adult is likely to need 60 g of cream (two tubes - one tube for each application), older children will require 30 g cream in total (½ tube for each application) and younger children will require 15 g cream in total (¼ tube for each application). The active ingredients are isopropyl alcohol and isopropyl myristate, and it works by dissolving the lice's protective exoskeleton then dehydrating the lice and eggs – something it claims to do in two hours.

Lyclear is not known to interact with any medicines. However, corticosteroid creams such as hydrocortisone should not be used while using Lyclear dermal cream, as these creams may make the infestation of scabies or crab lice worse. Other medicines containing the same active ingredient: Lyclear creme rinse (for head lice). Lyclear lotion contains dimeticone (a silicone-based substance) and mineral oil. These ingredients kill head lice and their eggs by physically coating, suffocating and dehydrating them.Chemical insecticides. These poison the lice or paralyse their nervous systems and various trials have shown they work. However, they can lead to louse resistance so shouldn't be used as a preventative measure - plus some smell horrible, like malathion (Derbac-M) which has a garlic aroma.

It has been shown that very low concentrations of permethrin are excreted in milk following oral administration of permethrin in cattle. It is not known whether permethrin is excreted in human breast milk. However, because only extremely small amounts of permethrin are absorbed systemically and in theory only a very small percentage of this will pass into the breast milk, it is unlikely that the concentrations of permethrin in the milk will present any risk to the neonate/infant.You will still be itchy for a while after successful treatment. If the itching becomes troublesome to you, your doctor or pharmacist will be able to advise you regarding suitable products to ease this. Moisturising creams can provide temporary relief from itching. Dermatological side effects have included pruritus (7%), erythema (1% to 2%), and rash (1% to 2%). [ Ref] Nervous system
