DIMETICONE, cutaneous lotion

Definition

A non-sterile, liquid substance intended to be applied topically to the scalp and head hair to eradicate human head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) through physical means. It contains synthetic compound agents (e.g., dimeticone, cyclomethicone, isopropyl myristate) that kill the lice through a non-poisonous action such as: 1) coating and encapsulating the lice preventing the excretion of water that will eventually smother them; or 2) coating them and causing them to dehydrate (loose water) and die; it may also penetrate the lice eggs in order to kill them. It does not include a lice comb. After application, this device cannot be reused.

Dimeticone is the preferred option for the treatment of head pediculosis except in children under 6 months of age.
