How to Use Mediker Shampoo & Oil Combo Effectively
Using Mediker products is simple, and when used together, they deliver powerful results.
Step 1: Oil Your Hair
Use Mediker Anti-Lice Oil, preferably at night. Massage gently into your scalp and along the hair length and leave it overnight to allow the active ingredients to loosen the grip of lice and their eggs.
Step 2: Comb to Remove Lice
Comb your hair using a lice-special comb which has thin bristles to physically remove dead lice and eggs.
Step 3: Wash with Mediker Shampoo
Apply Mediker Shampoo a generous amount to wet hair, massage it into the scalp and hair thoroughly, and let it work for a few minutes. Rinse well with water.
Step 4: Repeat or Use Regularly
Use this combo 2-3 times a week for 2 weeks or until lice and eggs are completely gone. To prevent lice and eggs, you may use the Mediker shampoo once a week.

What’s Inside Mediker Shampoo and Oil?
The Mediker products are infused with the following natural ingredients to be both effective and gentle
- Neem, which is known for its natural antibacterial & antifungal properties.
- Camphor soothes the scalp itching and detaches lice and nits(eggs).
- Sitaphal is commonly known as Custard Apple and is traditionally used to prevent lice.
- Coconut Oil Base to nourish the scalp and strengthen hair.
There are many anti lice products and treatments with harsh chemicals like permethrin or lindane, which can irritate the scalp and damage the hair. But Mediker offers a safe and herbal approach to be suitable for both children and adults, whether male or female.

More Hair Benefits of Mediker Shampoo and Oil
While their primary function is lice treatment, both Mediker shampoo and oil come with secondary benefits that make them suitable for regular use:
✅ No More Itchiness & Scalp Infections
Itchy scalp caused by lice bites, dirt, or dandruff, but neem and camphor soothe it.
✅ Promotes Scalp Hygiene
All the ingredients have antimicrobial properties to keep your scalp clean and free from fungal infections, which is important for healthy hair growth.
✅ Mild on Hair
Anti-lice treatments cause hair dryness or hair fall, but Mediker is mild and retains scalp’s natural oils to be ideal for long-term use.
✅ Strengthens Hair
The coconut oil base in Mediker Oil adds strength and shine to your strands, preventing breakage during combing and lice removal.

Are There Any Side Effects?
Mediker products are generally safe and dermatologically tested, especially for children. However, as with any product:
- Avoid contact with the eyes.
- Aap Ka Bazar recommends you do a patch test before using it for the first time, especially if you have a sensitive scalp.
- Do not use if you notice redness or itching, or similar allergic reactions.

Alternative Anti-Lice Treatments
Though Mediker remains one of the most convenient and budget-friendly lice treatments, here are some alternatives if you’re exploring options:
🔹 Lice-Comb Method Alone
A lice comb used daily with oil (like coconut or olive oil) can be effective over time, but is more time-consuming and requires discipline.
🔹 Prescription Shampoos
Shampoos containing permethrin or malathion are stronger and prescribed in extreme cases. However, they may come with more side effects and are not always suitable for young children.
🔹 Home Remedies
- Vinegar Rinse can help loosen nits, but it can dry out your hair
- Tea Tree Oil has natural insecticidal properties, but its strong fragrance may not be suitable for all scalp types.
- Petroleum Jelly suffocates lice but is messy and difficult to rinse.
- Mayonnaise can also reduce lice and eggs, but it would be more costly than Medikar Shampoo or oil.
The above-mentioned ‘Nani Ke Nuskhe’ can work, but there is no guarantee of consistency and long-term effects compared to products like Mediker. For more Hair Care Home Remedies, click & read.
