Hedrin - Giving You the Heads Up on Head Lice
If you have the misfortune to find lice, don't worry or be embarrassed. Head lice are a normal part of childhood - nearly one in 10 primary school children could have head lice at any one time. Parents know what a hassle it is to treat head lice and just how frustrating it can be when your child comes home scratching their head yet again.
Anyone can get head lice although they are most common amongst children aged 4-11 who spend more time in close contact with friends and siblings. The best known symptom is itching but this is not the best indicator as many people may not itch with lice at all.
Leaving lice untreated can lead to a loss of self esteem and confidence and a general feeling of being unwell.
The Hedrin head lice treatment range from ClonMedica includes;
- Hedrin Once – A fast acting solution that takes only 15 minutes to work
- Hedrin Treat & Go – a fuss-free solution great for children that just want to get out and play
- Hedrin Protect & Go – Simple and pleasant to use. Protects against head lice infestations
These products are proven to be highly effective at either killing or protecting against head lice, but specially formulated to suit different preferences and lifestyles.
“I now find myself checking my kids heads every week – I think everyone should once a week take a peek to ensure you catch those eggs before they hatch because I am terrified that they would spread to me!”, Sybil continued.
Hedrin Treat and Go promises a fuss free solution that’s great for children that just want to get out and play.
