Reviews

Paranit Sensitive bought on the recommendation of a familiar pharmacist, she knew that I was in a position and therefore chose a tool that would not harm me and the baby. I caught lice when I went to aqua aerobics for pregnant women. I was ashamed to see a doctor - I decided to try to get rid of the parasites on my own. And cheers! I did it the first time! It was easy to apply, it didn’t even have to be tied up - I went to bed on an old pillowcase and that’s it. In the morning washed away all evil. Although it is written that you do not need to comb out, I combed all the strands for safety. Now it’s not a shame to go out.

The eldest son brought lice from kindergarten. I didn’t realize right away - they went over to me and my younger one and a half year old Sasha. I was terribly worried, because there are not many good and safe pediculosis medicines for babies and lactating mothers. The pharmacy advised Paranit Sensitive. A little expensive, but I was ready to pay any money, just to save us all from lice. The bottle was enough for a single treatment of all three. I was afraid that I would have to once again lay out a tidy sum, but once was enough.

Recently I was lying with my daughter in the hospital. The baby caught a cold and they put us in a crowded room. When they were discharged from the department, it turned out that we both had nits. I didn’t see live lice, but they were just laying eggs. I tried to get rid folk remedies, because I’m still feeding my daughter, and she’s tiny at all. Decoctions did not help. I decided to act and went to the pharmacy. An elderly woman at the counter listened carefully to my confused story and immediately pulled Paranit Sensitive from the shelf. She explained how to apply and wash off. On the same day, the baby and I tested the drug. It helped a lot! A little expensive, but worth it.

The husband very “successfully” went on a business trip - brought head lice. He told me that the hotel was just awful with cockroaches and spiders. It turned out that also with parasites. To my toxicosis one more misfortune was added. Lice bites scratched so that I thought - I will remove a scalp. I read a bunch of information on the Internet, while I found the name of a suitable remedy for lice. I bought two bottles at once - I have very long and thick hair. The first time I washed, but itched a little more. After the second time, all lice disappeared. I also bought my husband Paranit repellent, so that he would no longer drag parasites into the house.
