Prescriptions for head lice

Symptom

Lice are minuscule insects that stay on the scalp and feed on the blood of their host, which causes the itching. They are caught through contact with an affected person, or via personal articles that have been shared (like hairbrushes, hats, clothing, towels, bedding, etc.) They spread very quickly, so it is essential to act immediately.

Treatment

In such cases, since no diagnosis is necessary, your Accès pharma chez Walmart-affiliated pharmacist is authorised, under a regional collective prescription written by a doctor, to begin the treatment of head lice, without you having to see your doctor. 

They can also give you advice about: 

  • Preventative methods 
  • Detection techniques (scalp examination)
  • The various possible treatments and products to use to ensure the complete elimination of both lice and nits
  • Tips on how to totally eliminate them from your home. 

Don’t hesitate to talk to your Accès pharma chez Walmart-affiliated pharmacist about any questions you may have about this service.
