If RID, NIX, or another conventional treatment failed

Drugstore Lice Treatment Didn’t Work? There May Be a Scientific Reason.

Head lice have developed widespread resistance to pyrethrins and permethrin — the active insecticide families used in many traditional over-the-counter products.

The Lice Changed

This is not simply a matter of using more product or repeating the same treatment over and over. Resistance can reduce how well conventional insecticide-based treatments work in some lice populations.

NIX Uses 1% Permethrin

The CDC acknowledges resistance to 1% permethrin. A large U.S. study collected lice from 48 states and found resistance-associated mutations at extremely high levels.

RID Uses Pyrethrins

The CDC also notes that resistance can reduce pyrethrin effectiveness. The American Academy of Pediatrics has reported that clinical effectiveness of permethrin and pyrethrins has fallen substantially in some studies.

Repeating a treatment that the lice resist is not the same as having a complete plan.

A plan for today. A plan for what comes next.

Move from repeated worry to a coordinated routine.

The one-bottle approach

Treat the hair, then wonder what to do about combing, laundry, or another exposure.

The resistance problem

Scientists Have Documented It.

Resistance to pyrethrins and permethrin has been documented in U.S. head lice populations and acknowledged by major medical sources.

48 statesincluded in a large U.S. resistance study
42 statesaveraged 100% resistance-associated alleles in that study
As low as 25%clinical effectiveness reported in some studies reviewed by the American Academy of Pediatrics

The 2016 study sampled lice in 2013–2015 and measured resistance-associated genes, not treatment failure in every person. Clinical results vary. These sources do not test or endorse CleanCures.
