Close the bottle with any remaining lindane and throw it away out of reach from children and pets. Wash your hands well after treatment.
If an infant or young child is prescribed lindane, watch the child carefully while the lindane shampoo is in the hair to make sure the child does not touch the hair then put the hands in the mouth.
If you are putting lindane shampoo on someone else, use gloves as directed above. Wash your hands well afterwards.
The easiest way to tell if you have lice is to look for small gray-white nits fixed to the hair shafts. Symptoms of lice include an intense itching, mostly on the scalp, but also possibly on the eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, or groin. Itching may continue even after treatment with lindane shampoo. Even if the lindane kills all the lice, the dead lice can still make you itch for a long time after treatment. Ask your doctor about other medications that may be used to soothe the itching.
Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens 1-2 weeks after treatment.
