With this in mind, Yourwellness Magazine explored head lice treatments. According to Yourwellness Magazine, “Head lice don’t only affect the wellness of your little ones. Just by coming into contact with your child, entire family wellness can suffer from the dreaded head lice and treating it can be a pain in the neck.” (http://www.yourwellness.com/2013/01/is-the-head-lice-treatment-you-use-this-nice-and-easy/#sthash.XmlCqlmY.dpuf)
Yourwellness Magazine commented that a drug called ivermectin (Sklice) could save parents a lot of time and effort combing through their children’s hair, as it eliminates lice after just one application without the need for nit combing. Yourwellness Magazine reported that ivermectin lotion cleared 94.9% of patients of lice one day after treatment, compared to 31.3% of the controls. They also noted that Sklice was approved by the FDA in February 2012 for treatment of head lice in anyone ages six months and older. Yourwellness Magazine explained that the ivermectin in the lotion works by attaching to the nerve and muscle cells of lice, which paralyses and kills them.
