Has anyone used Ovide 0.5% Lotion 59ml for head lice? What was your experience with side effects?
I recently found out my child has head lice and the doctor prescribed Ovide 0.5% Lotion. It's supposed to kill the lice and their eggs by affecting their nervous system. I'm a bit worried about the side effects, especially the urgent ones like allergic reactions and severe skin irritation. Has anyone else used this treatment? What was your experience like? Did you encounter any side effects, and if so, how did you manage them?

I wonder if there are any natural alternatives that work just as well. Has anyone tried tea tree oil or something similar?
I used Ovide and it worked amazingly. I just followed the instructions carefully and made sure to wash all bedding and clothing in hot water. Plus, I vacuumed all the carpets, making sure to get every corner. Just remember, it can be a bit uncomfortable when you first use it because it can leave your skin feeling a bit dry.
Be very careful with this stuff. I had a friend who had a bad reaction to it. It's important to do a patch test first if you have sensitive skin.
I used it and it worked but the smell was intense. I had to make sure the kid slept in a separate room just to get some sleep that night.
I didn't know about the FDA reporting stuff. That's good to know. Thanks!
