TGA-registered products

Australian pharmacies sell treatments with an AUST R or AUST L number. That mark means the product has been assessed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration. Your pharmacist can match a product to age, hair type, and what you have already tried.

Safety

• Do not use chemical treatments on children under two except on medical advice — wet comb instead.
• Follow the pack, including contact time and whether hair should be dry.
• No product kills every egg. A second application 7–10 days later is standard.
• Do not apply more than once a week — extra applications irritate the scalp and do not help.
• If one active ingredient fails, ask the pharmacist for a different one. Do not layer products.
• Never use kerosene, veterinary flea products, or hair-straightener “heat treatments”.

How to use this lane

• Take your Nitflix pharmacist note so they can see what you observed and what you have already used.
• Common classes include dimeticone (a silicone that coats and suffocates lice — a physical action, not an insecticide) and insecticide lotions. Resistance to some insecticides is reported, which is why pharmacist advice matters.
• Comb out after treatment. Book the day-7 to day-10 repeat in your care plan.
