Reviews

Para Plus is often used to eliminate pediculosis, a problem with which is quite a frequent phenomenon nowadays. At the same time, the patients' opinions on its effectiveness are quite diverse.

There are people to whom this medicine helped to completely eliminate this problem, but there are also many patients who did not have the expected result. There is also a group of individuals whose aerosol has caused severe side effects - such as burns on the skin and damaged hair.

It should be noted that negative reactions were usually observed in people who misused the aerosol (longer than indicated in the drug instruction) or in persons with hypersensitivity to its components.

In addition, the weak efficacy of drugs can be explained by the fact that only the head of the patient was treated, without further disinfection of all the items that he used - through them a relapse of infection can occur.

Given all of the above, we can assume that with the proper use of the medicine and compliance with medical instructions, the aerosol will be effective enough and help to eliminate pediculosis (in most cases).
