What is Nix Creme Rinse ?

Nix Creme Rinse is an over-the-counter topical medication primarily used to treat head lice and their eggs. It contains the active ingredient permethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that effectively kills lice through neurotoxicity, while generally being safe for humans when used as directed. Nix is applied to the hair and scalp after shampooing and is left on for a specified time before rinsing, typically followed by combing out dead lice and eggs with a fine-toothed comb.
