Pernix rolls out head lice treatment

The trial evaluating Natroba demonstrated efficacy against permethrin 1% without nit combing.

In Phase III clinical studies, Natroba was shown to be more effective at eliminating head lice infestations than permethrin 1%.

Pernix president and CEO Cooper Collins said Natroba is an important new, easy to use and effective treatment option for parents of children suffering from a head lice infestation.

"We are pleased that the product is available for the upcoming school year," Collins said.
