What is Pouxit Protect Anti-Lice Treatment 200 ml used for?
Pouxit Protect protects the whole family from lice infestations. Ideal for any situation where there’s a risk of infestation—such as lice alerts at the start of the school year or at summer camp—this anti-lice spray is gentle on the scalp. It’s therefore suitable for babies as young as 6 months and for pregnant or breastfeeding women. To combat head lice infestations, it is essential to eliminate all stages of the insect’s development—that is, adults, larvae, and eggs (nits)—to truly get rid of the problem.
Head lice have no natural predators, and a female louse can lay up to 10 nits per day—or 300 nits over the course of her adult life (see diagram opposite). As a result, infestations can spread extremely quickly. Pouxit Protect Anti-Louse Treatment 200ml is formulated with Protectdiol, a patented active ingredient that protects against infestations by eliminating any early-stage lice before they begin to develop. Gentle on the scalp, it can be used on children as young as 6 months and on pregnant or breastfeeding women. This anti-lice protection can be used in any situation where there is a risk of infestation, particularly in the following contexts: lice alerts at school, summer camp, etc.

Our advice and expert opinions from pharmacists
Once lice have infested the entire family’s hair, it’s difficult to get rid of them. That’s why it’s best to prevent them in the first place. On a daily basis—and especially when there’s a lice alert at school—there are a few simple rules to follow to limit the spread.
You can’t protect yourself 100% against lice. However, there are a few steps you can take to reduce the risk:
Every day, comb the hair thoroughly with a lice comb or a fine-toothed comb. It’s important to know that in 50% of cases, lice don’t cause itching... Only a careful inspection can detect them.
Teach your children not to share their accessories (hats, scarves, headbands, hair ties, and other items) with their classmates.
