How Is It Used?
Natroba™ should be used as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is a light orange, slightly opaque, viscous liquid, topical prescription medication that is applied to dry hair and scalp by starting at the scalp and working toward the ends of the hair. Natroba™ is available by prescription in a 4 oz. (120 ml) bottle. Only the amount needed to cover the scalp and hair is used. Once applied, Natroba™ should be left on for 10 minutes and then thoroughly rinsed away with warm water. Nit combing is not required with Natroba™. See patient information, full prescribing information and instructions for use for more information.
One treatment is needed. If live lice are seen 7 days after the first treatment Natroba™ should be applied again according to the directions.
Children will need an adult to apply Natroba™ for them. Patients should read the patient information that comes with Natroba™ before using it.
