| All enrolled participants provided baseline data on age, gender, hair characteristics, and previous pediculicide use. |
| This was the same kill rate seen among the 20 patients who had applied RID shampoo, a pyrethrin-piper-onyl-butoxide pediculicide. |
| The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new pediculicide in the eradication of Pediculus humanus capitis infestation. |
| The pediculicide is not absorbed systemically, so it is compatible with pregnancy. |
| We conclude that the dimeticone-based product is a safe pediculicide. |
| This resulted in persistence of infestation in the children treated with this pediculicide, particularly when the intensity of infestation was high. |
