How should I use benzyl alcohol topical?
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
Avoid getting this medicine in your eyes, mouth, or vagina. It is for use only on the hair and scalp.
Do not allow a child to use this medicine without supervision of an adult.
Do not wet your hair or scalp before applying this medicine.
Apply enough lotion to completely soak your scalp and hair, including behind your ears and the back of your neck. Massage in thoroughly. You may need to use more than one bottle of benzyl alcohol topical for longer hair.
Wash your hands with soap and water after applying the medicine.
Leave the lotion on for 10 minutes, keeping your eyes closed and covered during this time. Then rinse out thoroughly with water.
You may shampoo your hair at any time after using benzyl alcohol topical.
After rinsing, use a fine-tooth nit comb to remove lice eggs from the hair. Rinse the nit comb often during use. Place removed nits into a sealed plastic bag and throw it into the trash to prevent re-infestation.
Benzyl alcohol topical will not get rid of lice eggs so you must use a second application of this medicine 7 days after the first use.
Wash all clothing, hats, bed clothes, bed linens, and towels in hot water and dry in high heat. Dry-clean any non-washable clothing. Hair brushes, combs, and hair accessories should be soaked in hot water.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Do not freeze.
