Full Marks Head Lice Solution - 200ml (+ Comb)

Full Marks Head Lice Solution 200 ml (+ Comb) is a clinically proven UK-compliant head lice treatment, designed to help kill head lice and eliminate their eggs safely and effectively. Unlike traditional pesticide-based products, Full Marks uses a physical mode of action to dehydrate lice and make them easier to remove with the included fine metal-toothed comb after treatment.

This low-odour, pesticide-free formula is suitable for adults, the elderly and children aged 2 years and over, providing a quick 5–10 minute application that can be repeated as necessary on days 7 and 14 to break the life cycle of any newly hatched lice.

For adults and children aged 2 years and over:

1. Prepare hair: Comb through dry hair with a normal comb to remove tangles.
2. Apply solution: Shake the bottle and apply enough solution to fully coat the dry hair and scalp, massaging thoroughly to ensure coverage from root to tip.
3. Leave on: Allow the solution to sit on the hair for 5–10 minutes so the lice dehydrate and die.
4. Comb out: After treatment time, use the included fine metal-toothed comb to remove dead lice and eggs. Divide hair into small sections and comb each from scalp to tip, rinsing the comb between strokes.
5. Rinse: Wash hair thoroughly with a non-conditioning shampoo (conditioner not necessary).

Repeat Treatment:

• Check and retreat only if necessary on day 7 and/or day 14 post-initial treatment to eliminate any lice that have hatched since the first application

Active Ingredients:

• Cyclomethicone – works physically to coat and dehydrate head lice.
• Isopropyl Myristate – aids in the physical disruption of lice, supporting dehydration and death.

Other Ingredients:

Full Marks Solution is generally a simple, low-odour formulation. See product packaging for the full list of excipients and any potential allergens.

Format: Liquid solution with included fine metal removal comb.

Suitable for use in families and households to treat active infestations.

Possible Side Effects

Full Marks Head Lice Solution is generally well-tolerated when used as directed. However, some individuals may experience:

• Minor skin or scalp irritation (itching, redness).
• Sensitivity around the hairline — if present, rinse off thoroughly with warm water and discontinue use.

If symptoms persist, worsen or involve swelling or severe irritation, stop use and consult your pharmacist or doctor.

Warnings & Precautions

Before using Full Marks Solution, read all label instructions and consult a healthcare professional if uncertain. Important safety guidance includes:

• Use for external use only on the hair and scalp.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with warm water.
• Protect clothing and furniture with a towel; solution is oily and may stain fabrics.
• The product is not a shampoo and should not be used as such.
• Keep away from open flames, smoking or heat sources during use — treated hair and clothing may be flammable.
• Do not use the comb if it is damaged or missing teeth, as this could reduce effectiveness and risk hair damage.
• Keep out of reach of children when not in use.

Use in Children:

• Suitable for children aged 2 years and over.
• Always supervise treatment in younger children and follow age-specific guidance. Consult a pharmacist if concerned.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and considering lice treatment, ask a pharmacist or doctor for tailored advice before use.

When to Seek Medical Advice

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

• Severe allergic reactions (e.g., facial swelling, difficulty breathing).
• Persistent or worsening irritation that does not settle with normal precautions.
• Signs of infection around the scalp (increased redness, warmth, pus).
