Nitclear Scalp Solution

Nitclear Scalp Solution is a topical scalp and hair solution supplied in a 40ml bottle together with a fine-tooth removal comb. Its formulation is built around cyclomethicone and isopropyl myristate together with a surfactant base — silicone-type compounds that work by physical, non-chemical action, distinguishing it from insecticide-based pediculicide products that rely on chemical pesticides such as permethrin or malathion.

As a non-insecticidal, pesticide-free formulation, Nitclear belongs to the physical-action pediculicide (anti head lice) product category rather than the antifungal or anti-dandruff scalp-care category. It is described by its distributor as hypoallergenic and free from added perfumes and dyes, and it is formulated to rinse out of the hair without a separate shampoo step. Nitclear is distributed in Malaysia by Apex Pharmacy Marketing Sdn Bhd and is sold as an OTC (Over-the-Counter) product at community and online pharmacies.

The product is sold as a single 40ml bottle, with the amount needed varying by hair length, and is bundled with a dedicated fine-tooth comb for mechanical removal of lice, nits, and eggs after application. Nitclear should not be confused with anti-dandruff or antifungal scalp treatments, which use different active ingredients such as zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or tea tree oil for a different scalp-care category.

Apply Nitclear Scalp Solution to dry hair, not wet hair, making sure the entire scalp and full length of the hair is saturated. Use approximately 30-50ml for short hair, 50-70ml for medium-length hair, and 70-90ml for long hair, adjusting for hair thickness. Part the hair into sections to help apply the solution evenly, making sure the roots and scalp are fully covered. After application, leave the solution on the hair and scalp for the period stated on the product packaging before rinsing off; the formula is designed to rinse out with plain water without necessarily needing a separate shampoo wash. While the hair is still damp, use the fine-tooth comb provided to comb through small sections of hair from root to tip, wiping the comb on a tissue between strokes and checking it after each pass. Wash the comb thoroughly with hot, soapy water after use. As eggs can take about a week to hatch, a second application after around 7 days is commonly recommended, but always follow the specific timing stated on the product packaging or a pharmacist’s advice.

Nitclear Scalp Solution does not have a conventional oral dosage, as it is a topical product applied directly to the hair and scalp rather than swallowed. The amount of solution used should be adjusted to hair length and thickness — approximately 30-50ml for short hair, 50-70ml for medium hair, and 70-90ml for long or thick hair — enough to fully saturate the hair and scalp for even coverage. A single 40ml bottle is generally sized for one application on short-to-medium hair; a second bottle may be needed for longer or thicker hair, or for a repeat application after about 7 days if this is recommended on the packaging. If irritation, unexpected symptoms, or treatment failure occurs after a full course as directed on the packaging, stop use and consult a pharmacist or doctor rather than reapplying the product repeatedly.

Use Nitclear Scalp Solution before the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer carton. Do not use the product if the seal is broken, if the bottle appears damaged, or if the solution has changed in colour, clarity, or smell from normal.

Store the bottle at room temperature, below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat, and out of the reach and sight of children. Keep the cap tightly closed after use, and keep the accompanying lice comb clean and dry when not in use.

• Common: Mild scalp irritation, itching, or a tingling sensation during or shortly after application.
• Common: Temporary dryness or an oily feel to the hair immediately after application, before rinsing.
• Serious: Signs of an allergic skin reaction on the scalp, such as significant redness, swelling, blistering, or a spreading rash, requiring the product to be rinsed off and medical advice sought.
• Serious: Accidental eye contact causing persistent stinging, redness, or irritation that does not settle after thorough rinsing with water, which should be assessed by a doctor or pharmacist.

• Known hypersensitivity or allergy to cyclomethicone, isopropyl myristate, or any other ingredient in the formulation.
• Not for use on broken, cut, infected, or severely irritated scalp skin.
• Not for use near the eyes; avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes.
• Not recommended for infants under the age stated on the product packaging without prior advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

• Nitclear Scalp Solution is applied topically to the hair and scalp and is not taken orally, so no food interactions apply.
• As a physical-action, non-insecticidal formulation based on cyclomethicone and isopropyl myristate, it is not expected to have clinically significant systemic drug interactions.
• Avoid combining it on the same day with other medicated scalp or hair treatments, such as anti-dandruff shampoos or other pediculicide products, unless a pharmacist has advised combined use, to avoid unnecessary duplication or skin irritation. No known systemic drug interactions have been reported for this topical, non-absorbed formulation.

• Check all household members and close contacts and treat as needed at the same time to reduce the chance of reinfestation.
• Wash pillowcases, hats, combs, brushes, and hair accessories in hot water, or set them aside in a sealed bag for a few days, after treatment.
• Use the fine-tooth comb on small sections of hair at a time for a more thorough result, and clean the comb between sections.
• Avoid sharing combs, brushes, hats, or hair accessories with others.
• Keep long hair tied back during close head-to-head contact with others, such as at school or during sports.
• Re-check the scalp and hair about a week after treatment, as eggs can hatch after the first application.

Precautions: Nitclear Scalp Solution is for external use on the scalp and hair only. Avoid contact with the eyes, and rinse thoroughly with water if accidental eye contact occurs. Use with care in young children and infants, following the age guidance on the product packaging, and check with a pharmacist before use in pregnant or breastfeeding women if there is any uncertainty. Discontinue use if scalp irritation, redness, or an allergic reaction develops.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Consult a doctor or pharmacist if lice, nits, or eggs are still present after completing a full course of treatment as directed on the packaging, including any recommended repeat application, if the scalp becomes significantly irritated, infected, or inflamed, or if a household member has a known allergy to any of the product’s ingredients.
