Nyda Lice Spray

Dear parents,
in the following instructions for use you will find important and useful information on what you should consider when using this medical device. Please read the instructions for use carefully. If you have any questions, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Composition

High and low viscosity dimethicone, medium chain triglycerides, jojoba wax, fragrances (alpha-terpineol and boabo oil).

Pack sizes

Nyda is available in pack sizes of 50 ml and 2 x 50 ml.

Areas of application

Nyda is used for the physical treatment of the hair in case of infestation with head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis). When used as directed, Nyda kills not only adult lice, but also the juvenile stages (larvae) and eggs (nits) of head lice.

Mode of action

Nyda penetrates all branches of the respiratory system of lice and larvae as well as the eggs and displaces the oxygen there. This leads to their suffocation.

Contraindications

Nyda must not be used in case of known hypersensitivity to the ingredients. In the event of any allergic reactions, Nyda should be discontinued immediately.

Warnings

Nyda is for external use only! When using Nyda, you should make sure that the solution does not come into contact with the eyes or the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose. In case of accidental eye contact, rinse with plenty of water for 10 - 15 minutes. If irritation persists, please contact your doctor or pharmacist. Avoid inhaling Nyda! It cannot be ruled out that Nyda reacts with individual hair care products and hair dyes! Since some ingredients are flammable, Nyda must not be used in the presence of an open fire or glowing objects! Nyda is an oily solution. If it gets on surfaces or the floor, e.g. by spilling or spraying, there is a risk of slipping. In this case, remove the solution completely by cleaning the affected areas immediately.

Side effects

In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur, which are triggered by an ingredient of the medical device.

Use in specific patient groups

Nyda is suitable for all age groups and can also be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

General instructions for use

Please observe the following instructions to ensure successful elimination of head lice infestation. Before first use, the enclosed dosing pump is screwed onto the glass bottle. To do this, remove the screw cap from the bottle and screw on the dosing pump tightly. Always hold the spray bottle upright during treatment, otherwise the pump will not function properly. Please note that priming is required for the first use and after a longer period of inactivity. In case you want to store the dosing pump separately after use, we recommend pumping it empty and wiping it carefully with a dry cloth.

Special instructions for use for the 2 x 50 ml pack

The enclosed dosing pump is intended for use with both bottles. To change the bottle, place both bottles close together on a flat surface. Now unscrew the lid from the full bottle and put it aside. Carefully remove the dosing pump from the empty bottle and carefully transfer it to the new bottle. Screw on the dosing pump tightly and close the empty bottle with the existing screw cap. Remove any spilled product residue with a cloth.

Before treatment with Nyda

Before treatment, the entire hair of each family member should be examined for lice infestation with a lice comb (e.g. Nyda lice and nit comb with metal teeth, available in pharmacies). To avoid re-infestation, all persons with lice should be treated on the same day. Otherwise, untreated, infected persons can re-infect a treated person. To remove any nodules, the hair can be combed through with a normal comb. This must be cleaned thoroughly after combing.

For treatment with Nyda

For treatment with Nyda, we recommend placing a towel on the shoulder-neck area under the hair.

Nyda is applied to dry hair

1. Spray the dry hair thoroughly with Nyda from the roots. Spray the dry hair thoroughly with Nyda from the hairline. The amount required depends on the fullness and length of the hair. It is particularly important to treat the hair near the scalp and behind the ears with Nyda, as this is where most lice and nits are usually found. Long and thick hair should be treated in strands. Massage the solution into the hair until the hair is completely wet. This ensures that all lice, larvae and nits come into contact with the solution and Nyda can work optimally.
3. Do not wash out! Leave Nyda in the hair for at least 8 hours. After an exposure time of at least 45 minutes, you can comb the hair from the hairline to the tip with a lice comb (e.g. Nyda lice and nit comb) and remove the suffocated lice and eggs. Nyda makes combing easier for you, as its special composition makes even long hair very easy to comb. Leave Nyda in for at least 8 to max. 18 hours (e.g. overnight with a towel as a headrest).
5. Wash hair with a commercial shampoo. Nyda can then be washed out with your regular shampoo. Any remaining solution after the first wash can be removed with another hair wash.
7. Repeat the application after 9 days (+/- 24 hours). According to the general recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute, the treatment should be repeated after 9 days (+/- 24 hours) to completely eliminate the head lice infestation. Carry out this second treatment as described under points 1. - 3. above.

What else should you do in case of head lice infestation?
To prevent the spread of head lice and a new head lice infestation, all family members should also be checked for head lice and treated promptly if necessary.
