Nix Creme Rinse Uses This medication is used to treat head lice, tiny insects that infest and irritate your scalp.

Permethrin works by paralyzing and killing lice and their eggs (nits).This drug may also be used for pubic lice. Notes Do not share this medication with other person unless directed to do so by your doctor.One application is usually all that is needed. To avoid giving lice to another person or getting them again, all head wear, scarves, coats, and bed linens should be machine-washed with hot water and dried in a dryer (at high setting) for at least 20 minutes, dry cleaned, sealed in a plastic bag for 2 weeks, or sprayed with a disinfectant that kills lice. Brushes or combs should be soaked in hot water (hotter than 130 degrees F/54 degrees C) for 10 minutes, soaked in alcohol for 1 hour, or thrown away. Furniture and floors should be thoroughly vacuumed.People who are in close contact with the infected person, such as members of the same household, should also be checked for lice and nits.

A single permethrin treatment can help prevent lice from coming back for 14 days.
