What is Ulesfia?
Ulesfia is a prescription medicine used to get rid of lice in
scalp hair of children and adults. It is not known if Ulesfia is safe for
children under 6 months of age or in people over age 60.
Once Ulesfia is washed off, a fine-tooth comb may be used to
remove treated lice and nits from the hair and scalp. All personal items exposed
to the hair or lice should be washed in hot water
or dry-cleaned.
What should I tell my healthcare provider before I use
Ulesfia?
Tell your healthcare provider if your
baby was born early so your healthcare provider can decide if your infant is old
enough for Ulesfia.
Tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical
conditions,
including if you:
- have any skin
conditions or sensitivities, - are pregnant or planning to become
pregnant.
It is not known if Ulesfia can harm your unborn baby, - are breastfeeding. It is not known if Ulesfia passes into
your breast milk or if it can harm your baby. You
should choose to breastfeed or use Ulesfia, but not both. Talk to your
healthcare provider about other ways to feed your baby while using Ulesfia.
How should I use Ulesfia?
- Use Ulesfia exactly as prescribed. Your healthcare
provider will prescribe the treatment that is right for you. Do not change
your treatment unless you talk to your healthcare provider. - Use Ulesfia in two treatments that are one week apart.
Ulesfia gets rid of lice but does not get rid of lice eggs so a second
treatment is needed one week (7 days) after the first treatment. - Ulesfia coats the lice on your scalp and scalp hair. It is
important to use enough Ulesfia to coat completely every single louse and to
leave it on your scalp for the full 10 minutes. See the detailed Patient
Instructions for Use at the end of this leaflet. - Because you need to completely cover all of the lice with
Ulesfia, you may need help in applying Ulesfia to your scalp and hair. Make

this leaflet and the Patient Instructions for Use. - Children need adult help in applying Ulesfia.

provider right away. - Wash your hands after you apply Ulesfia.
