Pediculosis is one of the most unpleasant diseases a person can encounter. The vast majority of patients are embarrassed to seek help from a specialist, believing that lice only occur in asocial individuals, and they try to get rid of parasites at home, using chemicals with aggressive components.

Meanwhile, you should not consider this illness something shameful, and even less try to treat it with traditional methods, which can cause enormous damage to your health. If you have read reviews about the drug Nyuda for lice, then you already know how easy it is to use, effective and, most importantly, safe.

Composition and properties

Nyuda lice remedy is available in the form of a 50 ml bottle. The kit includes instructions, a spray bottle, and a convenient fine-tooth comb.

The drug is a spray that is sprayed onto the hair. The active component is biphasic dimethicone (92%). This substance is often used in anti-pediculosis agents, as it has proven itself in the fight against insects, effectively affecting them mechanically.

Dimethicones are nothing more than silicone oils that are odorless, colorless and tasteless. They are absolutely safe for humans, since they do not penetrate the scalp, and therefore are completely safe. That is why they are also used in cosmetic products.

The effectiveness of dimethicone is increased by additional components: medium chain triglycerides, jojoba wax, fragrances.

Analogues of Nuda against lice and nits

The drug Nyuda has no analogues based on dimethicone. The following drugs have a similar therapeutic effect:

1. Paranit. Available in spray and lotion form. Contains Isopar oil. Approved from 3 years of age and convenient for use on children, since the exposure time is 15 minutes.
2. Paraplus. Oil-based aerosol with hellebore water, malathion and permethrin. After application, keep for 10 minutes, allowed for children from 2.5 years old.

Your attending physician can advise you on the choice of medication.

Efficiency in the treatment of pediculosis

No living organism can exist without breathing, and lice have a very simple respiratory system. They receive air through special openings (spiracles) located on the sides of the body. Penetrating into the body through the spiracles, the active substance stops gas exchange and guarantees the rapid death of parasites.

It is more difficult to deal with nits, since the eggs are securely packed in a dense shell, impregnated with an adhesive substance that hardens in air. Thanks to this shell, toxic and chemical substances are powerless against nits.

Their only weak point is the respiratory tract, which is microscopic holes. It is through them that the spray penetrates, blocking gas exchange and depriving the nits of the oxygen they need for maturation.

Thus, the principle of action of the drug is based on displacing air from the respiratory system of parasites, blocking the respiratory tract, as a result of which they die from suffocation. Studies have proven that after contact with dimethicone, adult insects die within 1 minute!

Contraindications and side effects

Most anti-pediculosis drugs are effective, but have many contraindications and side effects. It follows from this that they are not suitable for everyone. Nyuda anti-lice spray compares favorably with its analogues in that it has virtually no contraindications, with some exceptions. So, it is not recommended for use:

• pregnant women;
• nursing women;
• child under 1 year old;
• patients with increased intolerance to the components included in the composition;
• people with scalp damage (wounds, scratches, abrasions).

As for side effects, studies have shown that Nyuda is well tolerated and does not cause complications.

However, it should be noted that this drug is not a drug, so before using it it is advisable to consult a specialist.

Indications and contraindications for the use of pediculicides

Indication for use is pediculosis . The product is not used for prophylaxis, but is effective for any form of disease severity.

Contraindications include:

• children under 3 years of age;
• intolerance to the components of the drug and hypersensitivity to them;
• the presence of inflammation, wounds and ulcerations on the scalp and in areas of direct exposure to dimethicone;
• pregnancy and lactation period.

People with increased sensitivity to allergens are advised to apply the product to a small area of ​​skin before use and evaluate the reaction of the epidermis after 30 minutes . If redness, itching and irritation appear, then Nyuda is not suitable for use due to individual intolerance. You should consult a doctor.

Can I use it during pregnancy?

Special studies have not been conducted on pregnant women, but the manufacturer does not recommend using the medicine during gestation and breastfeeding. Before use, you must consult with a specialist , and if the risk from the disease exceeds the threat from the use of dimethicone, then the doctor may prescribe the drug in exceptional cases. It is possible that during the period of treatment it will be recommended to stop feeding and limit contact with the newborn.

Precautionary measures

Some people are very sensitive to such products, so during use it is advisable to use a cotton bandage, twisted into a rope and tied around the head. This will prevent the spray from getting into your mouth and nose. If it accidentally gets into the eyes or nasopharyngeal mucosa, the damaged areas must be immediately rinsed with plenty of water.

The drug needs to be kept on the hair for some time. If during the procedure you feel discomfort, scalp burning, itching, then an allergic reaction has begun. Rinse it out of your hair immediately!

To avoid this problem, manufacturers recommend conducting a test before using the spray. Simply apply a small amount of liquid to the inner crease of your elbow and wait 45 minutes. If there are no negative sensations, the leave-in spray can be safely used.

Sometimes the patient may experience weakness and nausea. These symptoms are extremely rare, but they cannot be excluded. In such cases, it is recommended to go out into the fresh air, breathe, and then drink activated carbon (1 tablet).

Expert opinion

Sidorenko Veronika Leonidovna

Candidate of Medical Sciences, St. Petersburg Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Pasteur.

It is not recommended to exceed the duration of action of the drug Nuda against lice; the instructions clearly indicate that you need to keep it on your hair for no more than 45 minutes.

If re-use is necessary, treatment can be carried out no earlier than after 7 days.

If parasites were found on one family member, for example, a child, it is necessary to examine the heads of all the others. During the treatment period, you need to change bed linen more often, wash it in hot water, and then iron it with steam.

Nyuda - drug release forms

The drug Nyuda is available in the form of shampoo and spray. Each of them is easy to use and has its own characteristics and advantages.

Spray

Nyuda spray is available in 50ml bottles . It is an aerosol, so you should take some precautions when using it:

• spray away from open sources of fire, as it is highly flammable;
• avoid contact with mucous membranes; if this happens, rinse immediately with warm running water;
• try not to inhale the substance by using gauze masks;
• When distributing along the length of the hair, use disposable rubber gloves.

General information

When getting rid of head lice, speed is important. Because parasites multiply quickly, causing constant itching of the head. After scratching, wounds may appear. Nits are firmly attached to the hair and are clearly visible. They are evidence of lice reproduction.

We recommend reading: how lice can be dangerous.

First aid in such a situation is a new generation product - Nuda spray, which will help you quickly get rid of lice. The spray is effective against nits.

Important! The drug Nyuda does not have a harmful effect on the human body and there is no pungent odor.

Compound

Nuda spray is manufactured by the German company G. Pohl-Boskamp GmbH & Co. KG. Among pediculosis products, Nyuda spray is considered safe and effective. The product does not contain toxic components, therefore there are almost no side effects as a result of its use. Approved for use for removing lice in children from 3 years of age. You can find out more about the treatment of head lice in children on our website.

The components of the drug are:

• triglyceride substances;
• wax;
• flavorings;
• main component dimethicone 92%.

Dimethicone is a liquid, oily silicone. This substance is not toxic to humans and insects. It is used in the production of various hair care products to impart natural shine and silkiness. Dimethicone is effective against head, pubic and linen lice, as well as nits.

It works as follows. Oily silicone covers the entire length of the hairline with a thin membrane that covers the parasites. The membrane clogs the respiratory channels, preventing the access of oxygen; in the absence of oxygen, the parasites die.

The product does not kill nits, but it helps to destroy the sticky layer that attaches them to the hair. Then the nits are removed by mechanical combing with a Nyuda comb, which is included in the kit. To effectively remove nits, you need to carefully comb out each strand.

Additional components, in addition to enhancing the effect of using the spray, are:

• as humectants;
• hair becomes soft and pliable when combed and styled.

One treatment is enough to get rid of the annoying problem. There is no need to cut your hair or get rid of unpleasant odor.

By the way, the drug can be used to kill fleas and lice in puppies.

Advantages

The main advantage is that the product is non-toxic. Before this, in our country efficiency was in the first place, and only then thought for the people. I don't really want to use insecticide. First, the manufacturers claim that the product is absolutely safe for humans, and below they provide a long list of contraindications and side effects. This is not the case when using Nude.

• It does not damage the hair, on the contrary, it makes it easier to comb, making it smooth and silky. There is no need to buy additional hair restoration balm.
• Does not require hair cutting, although short lice can be removed faster.
• Does not have an unpleasant odor. This is also an important point. Especially if you have to get rid of head lice in children.
• Quickly affects adult insects. Kills in 1 minute.
• You can buy it at any decent pharmacy and don’t have to run around looking for it throughout your locality.
• Acceptable price. In addition, the kit includes a comb. No time is wasted looking for the right comb.
• Easy to use. Spray on hair and wait for time to expire.
• Can be used by children from 3 years old. Mostly, infection occurs in kindergarten, when a little person enters society.
• Does not harm the scalp. An allergic reaction occurs in rare cases in people with hypersensitivity or when lice medication is used incorrectly.
• It can be stored for a long time if all rules are followed. Up to 4 years in a place protected from bright sunlight.

Nyuda is the most purchased product in the line of anti-pediculosis products. Many mothers prefer these domestic products.

How to use

The medicine Nyuda is packaged in a glass bottle with a capacity of 50 ml. One bottle is usually enough for two treatments. The amount of product used depends on the length and thickness of the hair.

According to the instructions, you need to wear gloves before applying the suspension to your hair. Place the sprayer on the bottle. Shake the bottle until the composition becomes homogeneous. During spraying, the bottle must be in an upright position at all times.

Further actions:

1. Comb the strands thoroughly.
2. Spray the product onto dry strands, starting from the roots and then work through the entire length. It is advisable to first divide thick hair into strands with a comb. And then carefully process each one. Hair should be damp after spraying. No rubbing required!
3. Leave the product on your hair for 45 minutes. Longer exposure time does not improve the effect.
4. The effect of the drug will be enhanced if you use a swimming cap.
5. After time, the strands are carefully combed out. This process removes the destroyed parasites. For this purpose, use a special comb, which is included in the kit. The comb has fine teeth that comb out even the smallest nits.
6. It is advisable to carry out combing over a white cloth, then with a napkin you can see the result of the action of the Nude spray.
7. The process is completed by washing your hair with warm water using your usual shampoo.
8. After drying your hair, you need to check for the absence of parasites. A repeat check is carried out on the second day.

Sometimes it is not possible to get rid of lice and nits in one go. This option is possible:

• if you have very thick strands that are difficult to process;
• sparing or insufficient application of spray to hair.

In this case, the processing is repeated. Repeated treatment is allowed after a seven-day break. But during this period it is advisable to comb out nits every day.

Precautionary measures

Any product is safe if used wisely. Before using Nyuda spray, you need to check its sensitivity. For this purpose, spray a little medication onto the skin behind the ear. After 45 minutes, it will become clear whether the skin is sensitive to this composition. Otherwise, you need to choose another medication.

In order to prevent the spray from getting into your eyes, you need to make a cushion out of your mouth from a scarf or towel. A roller is tied around the head before spraying. This roller should not be removed during exposure and rinsing.

What precautions should be taken , in addition to protecting the mucous membrane and respiratory tract?

• The drug tends to ignite easily. Therefore, you need to spray it in a place where there is no open fire or working appliances, for example, a working hair dryer.
• If it is no accident that the product gets into your eyes or nose, you should immediately wash it off with warm water.
• If the drug is spilled on the floor, you need to thoroughly wash the area. Because the suspension is oily, you may slip.

Forbidden:

• use expired medicine;
• eat while taking the medicine;
• smoke;
• store the medication near food.

Important to remember! Even if the medication is not toxic, its frequent use is unacceptable.

Contraindications

A good, harmless medicine has contraindications for use, which should not be neglected. The medicine for head lice Nyuda is considered hypoallergenic. But with each new use, a test is required. If a burning sensation or redness occurs on the skin, it is better not to use the medication.

The accompanying instructions prohibit the use of Nyuda spray:

• Small children under three years of age.
• While carrying a child. It is not known how the medication affects fetal development. No such tests have been carried out. Read on our website which lice treatments are safe during pregnancy and lactation.
• During the period of breastfeeding the baby. The effect of the drug has not been tested on infants.
• If micro scratches are found on the scalp. If there are scratches, a tingling and possibly burning sensation will be felt.
• Skin diseases.

The treatment process for children and adolescents should be carried out under the supervision of adults. Treatment includes sanitary treatment of bed and underwear. And an inspection for the presence of lice of all family members.

It is worth reminding that excessive zeal is inappropriate, but a quick reaction aimed at eliminating parasites after they are detected is important!

Side effects

No special manifestations were noticed after using the medicine. Users note a greasy shine on their hair after rinsing. The oily base of the suspension is difficult to remove with shampoo in one go. Therefore, this problem can be removed by washing your hair with shampoo twice.

After using Nude, you may feel a specific smell. The smell may be persistent, but getting rid of its presence is not difficult. To remove a specific odor, you can add a few drops of natural essential oil to the shampoo. A good effect is obtained from using tea tree oil.

There are no other side effects reported by users if precautions are taken.

Alcohol compatibility

The spray is used for topical application and is not absorbed systemically; therefore, its interaction with alcohol-containing drinks has not been studied due to the lack of clinically significant manifestations. It is not recommended to drink alcohol before spraying liquid on your hair due to the high likelihood of safety violations (spray getting into the eyes, spraying on the floor, using near an open fire, etc.).

Overdose

During the use of the drug, no cases of exceeding the dosage were identified. You must adhere to the recommended amount of liquid for a single application. If any adverse reactions occur, you should consult your doctor.

Advantages and disadvantages

The most significant advantage of Nude is the absence of toxins that have a negative effect on the body. Other positive qualities from using Nude:

• improves hair structure;
• can be used for curly and thick hair, since the medicine makes the strands easier to comb;
• the product has a specific smell, but not pungent;
• You can purchase medicine without a prescription in the pharmacy chain of any locality;
• no spraying skills required;

• The aerosol method of application makes it possible to gently moisten each hair from root to tip with the medicine.

Please note, spraying is beneficial, but can cause harm! The drug should be applied carefully so that the medicine does not get on the mucous membrane and respiratory tract.

Minuses:

• relatively high consumption of medicine;
• the comb breaks when combing thick and curly strands;
• many people do not like the specific smell, reminiscent of anise;

How things really are

Based on the analysis of reviews on the Internet, the drug is indeed popular. True, reviews are not always positive, but they look strange and are written according to the standard. They say it’s ineffective, terrible, and didn’t help. There is an identical formulation for several drugs against lice. On real forums, people speak about Nyuda with delight. They notice high effectiveness after 1 treatment. The second is carried out either due to severe infestation, or to be completely sure of the death of the parasites. There is no terrible smell. The specific one is present, but quickly disappears. After rinsing and using shampoo, it disappears completely. Doesn't damage hair or tangle. The skin remains in normal condition.

Thus, we can conclude that Russian people also liked the drug. Despite the high cost, it is in demand. And the application is not limited to humans. When used correctly, head lice is not as bad as it used to be. You can poison adult insects in 1 hour, and comb out nits in a week. People around you won’t even notice that there was anything wrong.

What is especially important for children’s vulnerable psyche. Then prevention will remain an important issue, since no one is immune from re-infection

Nyuda is not suitable for these purposes. The effect disappears immediately after rinsing off.
