FDA Approves of No-Comb Treatment for Head Lice

The FDA approved of Skilice, a no-comb 10 minute treatment for head lice. Skilice is a prescription topical lotion containing .5% of invermectin, a powerful parasite killer. In clinical trials 75% of home treatments eliminated the head lice for kids. Side effects of pink eye, eye irritation, dandruff, dry skin and burning sensation were seen in only .1% of the children using Skilice.
