EffectLinicin Prevent is the only lice product on the Danish market that is made to exclusively prevent lice (Linicin Plus products also have a preventive effect, but they are used for treatment - i.e. if you already have lice - whereas Linicin Prevent is only used preventively if you have an increased risk of getting lice).

How to useSpray the product on dry hair (without lice) in the morning to prevent lice infection. The duration of action is 7 hours. If you already have lice, you should treat with one of the other products and wait to use Linicin Prevent until the treatment is successful. After that, however, Linicin Prevent is a very beneficial product because it prevents re-infection with lice.

Remarks: Can be used by adults and children from 2 years of age. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using this product.
