Lyclear is a permethrin-based treatment range used to address head lice and scabies, available in cream, shampoo, and lotion formulations to suit different treatment needs. Permethrin works by disrupting the nervous system of parasites, and Lyclear products are formulated at concentrations appropriate for each condition: the 1% shampoo for head lice, the 5% cream for scabies. A single application is typically sufficient for head lice when the product contact time and hair-combing instructions are followed correctly. Lyclear Cream is also commonly used for scabies, where it is applied to the whole body from the neck down and left on overnight before washing off. For scabies, all close household contacts are generally advised to treat at the same time to prevent re-infection. The lotion formulation offers an alternative application method for those who prefer it. Ronaghan's Pharmacy stocks the full Lyclear range, giving you access to the right formulation for your situation. If you are unsure whether Lyclear Cream or Lyclear Shampoo is appropriate for your needs, a pharmacist can help you choose based on the condition being treated and the age of the person being treated.
