HEAD LICE: ******* Hedrin is Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**************

Having tried absolutely every treatment possible, I've found Hedrin to be fantastic. I was shocked to see how expensive it was in my local chemist, so asked my doctor to prescribe it free for my children. He hadn't heard of it, but looked it up in that little book they have and gave me a prescription which would have cost me £44!

Thought I'd share the info

Southeastastra, I got four large bottles, because I've four chidren and you need to apply it twice, 7 days apart. I thought the smell wasn't as bad as a lot of the others and it worked!

Bumping up for anyone who didn't know that they can get it free!
