Hedrin 4% Lotion is an easy to use head lice treatment. Hedrin contains dimethicone, which suffocates and dehydrates head lice, and allows this product to penetrate louse eggs in order to kill the infestation at the source. Hedrin’s formula provides the treatment required without lice developing resistance, as the effect is purely physical – no insecticides or poisons needed. It is available without prescription and simply requires 2 overnight applications, 7 days apart.
