symptoms are the same as yours. It may harm
them. Keep Lindane Shampoo out of the reach of

Before you put it on:
- Make sure you know how to use the Shampoo as indicated by
your doctor.
- If you are applying it to another person's hair, be sure to
use special gloves made of latex with neoprene, nitrile, or
sheer vinyl. You should not use natural latex gloves
because the Lindane can go through that kind of glove.
Keep the gloves on until the shampoo has been washed out of
your hair. Wash your hands thoroughly when finished.
- Be sure that your hair and neck do not have any other oil,
cream, or shampoo in it. Oils can make Lindane seep
through your skin faster and can increase the risk of having
seizures.
When applying the Shampoo:
- Shake the bottle of Lindane Shampoo well.
- Be sure that your hair is clean and dry before
applying. Do not wash your hair within 1 hour before
using the Lindane Shampoo. Use regular shampoo without
conditioner and dry your hair.
- Use only enough Lindane Shampoo to wet your hair and
scalp. Do not add water to your hair at this
point. You should also put Lindane Shampoo on the
short hairs on the back of your neck.
- Keep the shampoo on your hair for 4 minutes. Use a
clock to time yourself.
- Do not use a shower cap or any other sort of covering on
your head during the 4 minutes.
- Close the bottle with the leftover Lindane Shampoo and throw
it away in a trash can out of the reach of children.
When you are supposed to wash it off:
- After the 4 minutes has passed, lather (or soap up)
the Lindane Shampoo. Use only a small amount of warm
water when lathering. Hot water is not safe to
use. You can then wash the Lindane Shampoo off of your
head. You should again use warm water, not hot water,
to wash out the Shampoo. Do not leave any of the
Lindane Shampoo on your head or hair. It will not kill
anymore lice and it may continue to seep into your skin and
cause serious side-effects, such as seizures.
After you wash off Lindane Shampoo:
- Towel dry your hair. Use a nit comb or tweezers to
remove the dead nits (lice eggs) from the hair. You
may need someone else to do this for you.
- All recently worn clothing (including underwear, pajamas,
and hats), used sheets, pillowcases, and towels should be
washed in very hot water or dry-cleaned.
- Do not use Lindane Shampoo again. If you think you
need to use it again, you need to check with your physician
to find out whether or not it is safe to use again and when
it will be safe to use again.
You may still experience itchiness after using Lindane
Shampoo. This does not mean that you need to reapply
Lindane Shampoo. Even after all of the lice have been
killed, they can still cause you to itch for a long period
of time. Lindane Shampoo may even increase the
discomfort of the itchiness after it has been used.
Consult your physician about ways to soothe the itch.
