Linicin Head Lice Lotion – Eliminates Head Lice
Earlier this year, Meda Pharmaceuticals launched a head lice treatment, Linicin Lotion 15 min (dimethicone), for the elimination of head lice and nits. It is clinically proven as safe for use on children from the age of six months, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is also non-toxic and has no known allergens. Linicin works mechanically via its fast-acting ingredient, dimethicone, which blocks the lice’s uptake of oxygen, causing the louse to suffocate and die. It has also been proven in an in-vitro study that it impedes the development of nits – those that were exposed to Linicin did not hatch. Each bottle has an easy-applicator tip and contains 100ml of solution, enough for two applications, and comes with a louse comb for removing dead lice after treatment and checking other family members.
- Eliminates head lice and nits
- Comes in a bottle with an easy applicator tip and a fine-tooth steel comb
- Works in 15 minutes

- Has a neutral scent and is colourless
- Has very high consumer compliance: In a survey all the people tested said they would recommend the treatment to others
Lamberts Colladeen Derma Plus is formulated to provide active phytonutrients that promote elasticity and enhance the skin’s micro-circulation, whilst helping to guard skin from sunlight damage, which is he primary cause of ageing.
Skin is predominantly made from collagen which is the most abundant protein in the body – it is the protein that forms connective fibres in tissues including skin, ligaments, cartilage, muscle and capillaries, but is prone to free radical damage.
Free radicals are damaging molecules that contribute to the ageing process including fine lines and wrinkles, tissue damage and overall health. Externally, exposure to ultraviolet light via sunshine and pollution are two of the major factors that increase the level of free radicals circulating in the body. They natural solution is to consume antioxidants which have the ability to neutralise free radicals, rendering them harmless.
Lamberts Colladeen Derma Plus - £14.99 at Pharmacy First
One of the most powerful groups of antioxidants to have been identified are the from a division of the falvonoid family and are called anthocyanidins or OPCs. Favonids are found in abundance in fruit and vegetables, and for a long-time have been recognised as important but it is only more recently that the exciting discovery of this sub-group has been made.
In plants, anthocyanidins are responsible for the pigment that give fruit and berries their rich colours and seem to help protect the growing plant against various environmental assaults, including UV radiation. Dark skinned fruit such as black grapes, cherries and blackberries provide useful levels of anthocyanids, but the trouble is we don’t eat enough of these food to have a significant effect.
This is why Lamberts have developed Colladeen Derma Plus which, by using extracts that concentrate these phytonutrients by upto 500 times their level in the original plant material, contains one of the highest levels of anthocyanidins.
As well as powerful antioxidants, anthocyanidins have been identified as being particularly active in supporting and repairing collagen-rich structures in the body. This is of great interest since in addition to poor skin health, compromised or weakened collagen can lead to damaged capillary walls and a less than efficient micro circulation.
Reinforcing and preserving collagen in the body helps improve skin elasticity as well as enhancing the skin’s micro-circulation. But even diets high in fruit and vegetables may not provide optimal levels of these new, capillary enhancing phytonutrient which is where Colladeen Derma Plus is invaluable.
Aside from anthocyanidins, there is another very important skin ‘loving’ phytonutrient class, the xanthophylis from the carotenoid family. Lutein and zeaxanthin are two of the most well known carotenoids, found i high quantities in dark leafy vegetables where they protect the plant cells from excessive sun damage. As well as zeaxanthin, Lamberts have included 6mg of pure free-form lutein since this reflect the level used in a recent study. Lamberts have purposely selected to use pure lutein found in green leafy vegetables wheras cheaper lutein esters are quite different to the lutein found naturally.
Lamberts have also chosen to include green tea in Colladeen Derma Plus since, like the antocyanidins, there has been much attention on its antioxidant properties. Lamberts have sourced their extract from one of the world’s most sophisticated suppliers of green tea. It is of the highest quality and contains the correct balance of actives.
All together these active phytonutrients create one of the most advanced natural formulas to help protect and enhance skin health.
Pharmacy First are now selling the Excilor Fungal Nail Infection Cream Applicator.
Fungi feed on keratin which makes up the main part of the nail. Once the fungi has taken root under the nail it can be pretty tricky to get rid of.
If the fungal nail infection is not treated it will make the condition of the nail visibly worsen. The first step is small white patches appearing. The nail will then start to turn yellow. if still left untreated, the infection will cause the nail to thicken and crumble.
Excilor Fungal Nail Infection penetrates through the nail and makes the condition unfavourable for the fungal growth. The effects of Excilor are clear to see in a very short time scale as the infected part of the nail grows out.
Make sure that you start your treatment as quickly as possible after seeing the first tell tale signs of a fungal infection. The earlier the infection is caught and stopped, the quicker the infection will be treated and grow out to leave the nail back to normal.
Fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis, is a very prevalent condition. Both sexes have an equally likely to contract a fungal nail infection.They are very rare in children but the risk to people aged 35 to 59 is a lot higher. Fungal nail infections are very common in the over 60s.
Most cases of fungal nail infections occur on the toenails, in particular the big toe. Although it can affect fingernails too. The conditions in a shoe are perfect for fungal growth because of the humidity and warmth.
Excilor Fungal Nail Infection is a clinically proven effective fungal nail treatment that will immediately lower the pH in the nail and create an environment where fungi cannot grow. Excilor will also control the micro-environment of the nail by acidifying the nail bed, penetrating the nail and treating it from the inside out.
Directions for use:
It is best to continue the course of treatment until the nail has recovered completely.
1) Clean the nail and remove nail polish if present. Use the pen-shaped applicator to coat the whole nail and the underside of the nail rim. Apply generously.
2) Allow the nail to dry (1-2 minutes) before putting on socks or shoes. This allows the product to penetrate the nail. It is normal to feel a tingling sensation under the nail, this shows the product has penetrated the nail.
3) Apply to the infected area twice a day. For best results treat the infected area for a minimum of three months as the damaged nail needs time to grow out.
This morning saw Martin Lewis, of Money Saving Expert, appear on ITVs Lorraine Show to talk about hayfever remedies and tablets. He spoke about 2 main types of hayfever tablets and explained how you could buy the generic versions of the tablets instead of paying over the odds for the branded alternatives.
The first tablet mentioned was Loratadine Tablets. Loratadine is a newer type of antihistamine that is highly effective and non-drowsy. Loratadine is also the active ingredient in Clarityn and the generic tablets give the same effect to the hayfever sufferer. At Pharmacy First we sell a wide range of Loratadine products. The most popular being our months supply of Loratadine, which only costs 50p.
The other active ingredient that was Cetirizine, which is the active ingredient in Zirtek. This is also a newer type of antihistamine where the generic tablets are far cheaper than the branded alternatives and offer identical results. At Pharmacy First we sell a number of products that use Cetirizine as their active ingredient. The most popular Cetirizine product is the months supply of Cetirizine that sells for 99p.
Martin Lewis talking about these products on national television shows like Lorraine is great because it gets the message out to people that they do not need to spend a fortune to get effective relief from hayfever. There are plenty of cheap hayfever remedies available. At Pharmacy First we are constantly trying to supply our hayfever remedies at the lowest possible prices to offer our customers the best deals online.
What is the Exorex Psoriasis Management System?
The Exorex range, including compatible moisturisers and cleansers is:-
EXOREX LOTION Coal Tar Solution 5% v/w Cutaneous Emulsion
All products in the Exorex Management System have been designed to work together to help you control your psoriasis. This means that you can use one or more products in the range in conjunction with EXOREX LOTION. The compatible products, which may be used with EXOREX LOTION, are also fragrance free and colourant free.
EXOREX LOTION is the most important product in the Exorex Management System providing relief from psoriasis. It is a patented formulation containing prepared coal tar (5% v/w) in a base containing a complex of esterified essential fatty acids.
Psoriasis – Some Basic Rules
With regular treatment it may be possible to control psoriasis and you may remain symptom free for long periods of time. In addition to following the Exorex Management System the following points should be noted:
-
Never Irritate Lesions
Avoid irritants such as perfumed and/or coloured soaps, shampoos, shower gels, body creams, baby oils and moisturisers.
-
Never Allow Lesions to Become Excessively Dry
Moisturise as often as needed between EXOREX LOTION applications, using compatible moisturisers such as EXOREX MOISTURISING CREAM for the body and EXOREX SCALP MOISTURISER for the scalp.
-
Be Careful With Alcohol Consumption
Some people feel their psoriasis can be triggered or made worse by drinking alcohol. Therefore we recommend that you avoid drinking alcohol, especially during the first 3 months of your treatment programme.
-
Avoid Contact Irritants
Certain detergents, deodorants, hair dyes, perfumes and after-shaves can act as triggers. Therefore it is worth keeping a watchful eye on your particular trigger substance and avoid wherever possible.
-
Be Aware of your Diet
Again, some people feel that certain foods can aggravate psoriasis. The ‘problem’ foods vary greatly from one sufferer to another, therefore you may need to discover what, if any, foods have an effect on your own condition by eating things in isolation and noting whether there are any changes to your condition.
How To Use The Products in the Exorex Range
BODY
Before each treatment, cleanse the affected areas gently using non-irritant compatible cleansers. Pat dry – avoid harsh rubbing.
In the morning, apply EXOREX LOTION to the affected areas of your body. Don’t worry about Lotion getting on good skin – no harm will be done. Apply sufficient Lotion so that it dries in approx. 2 minutes. If it dries well before, you have not applied enough. If it dries well after 2 minutes, you have applied too much, and are simply wasting Lotion.
Once the Lotion has dried, we suggest that you apply a moisturiser such as EXOREX MOISTURISING CREAM to the affected areas (on top of the Lotion) and massage in gently until it disappears and dries.
Repeat the regime at midday (if at all possible) and again in the evening.
Note: You should not apply EXOREX LOTION to the body more than 3 times daily. However, there is no restriction in daily use of EXOREX MOISTURISING CREAM. Therefore, you may wish to apply it in between Lotion applications to help reduce itching and irritation, maintain moisture and help remove scaling.
SCALP
Shampoo hair in the morning (or evening if you prefer) with a compatible non-irritant shampoo such as EXOREX HAIR & BODY SHAMPOO.
Apply EXOREX LOTION to the affected areas of the scalp and massage in lightly for a minute (again, do not worry about getting EXOREX LOTION on “good skin” – no harm will be done). Apply EXOREX SCALP MOISTURISER to the affected areas of the scalp and massage in lightly for about a minute. (If you are also using EXOREX LOTION on your body you may find it easier to apply the SCALP MOISTURISER to your scalp after applying Lotion to the affected areas of your body).
DO NOT RINSE OFF. Repeat at midday (if at all possible) without shampooing hair. Repeat midday regime at night. At this time you can replace SCALP MOISTURISER with EXOREX MOISTURISING CREAM if you feel this would be more beneficial.
With the EXOREX LOTION and SCALP MOISTURISER, only you will know that you are using anything. Simply put a brush/comb through your hair once dry.
Results – Does Exorex Work?
When you begin using EXOREX as suggested, the initial “treatment phase” can take 60 to 90 days. Many sufferers may begin to see a marked improvement in their psoriasis during this period. However, it can sometimes take longer for improvement to occur. Remember no two sufferers are the same.
Nuromol is a new painkiller tablet that is available from your pharmacy. It combines both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. Nuromol is formulated using a technology called Synchro-tech, which releases both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol simultaneously so that the active ingredients deliver a combination effect. This combines the following effect from the seperate drugs:
Paracetamol |
Ibuprofen |
|
|
Nuromol is able to reach 100% dissolution in nine minutes significantly faster that the 20 minutes that standard paracetamol takes or the 30 minutes that standard ibuprofen takes. This means that pain relief is achieved on average in under 45 minutes.
People are most likely to treat pain when it will prevent them from carrying out normal tasks.
Nuromol is an effective painkiller that is especially suitable for pain which requires stronger pain relief than other paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. The Synchro-tech technology ensures that the active ingredients deliver a combination effect, whcih has been shown to be significantly more effective than some codein-containing combinations available of the counter.
Does Nuromol Work?
In a word, yes. All the information that is available suggests that Nuromol is more effective than using paracetamol or ibuprofen independaently of each other.
Nuromol comes in 3 pack sizes; 6 Tablets, 12 Tablets and 24 Tablets.
In 80% of all cases, it is “androgenetic alopecia” that worries men: Hereditary hair loss due to supersenstitivity of the hair roots to the hormone testosterone (DHT).
On the one hand, testosterone makes beard hair grow but also weakens predisposed ahir roots in the scalp. They die prematurely, because testosterone cuts off their energy supply.
Based on an active ingredient combination containing caffeine, Alpecin has succeeded in stopping this negative testosterone effect and therefore effectively fighting the cause of hereditary hair loss.
To understand the effect of caffeine, one needs to take a closer look at the hair’s growth cycle: Normally, the hair root is active for up to 8 years (growth phase), follwed by a resting phase. The hair root releases hair and it falls out without the threat of alopecia. Subsequently, the hair root starts another growth phase and does so about 14 times before dying.
With the corresponding genetic predisposition, testosterone (DHT) prevents the generation of c-AMP, a messneger compound for energy, which is required for the hair roots’ metabolism. This shortens growth phases and the hair roots’ lifetime ends prematurely. If more and more hair roots die this way male balness will be the result.
The caffeine-containing ingredient of Alpecin protects the hair roots against the testosterone attack. This prolongs the growth phases, which means that hair growth is possible well into old age.
Recent dermatological tests by thr university clinics of Hamburg-Eppendorf and Jena have confirmed the efficacy of caffeine against testosterone.
Alpecin Shampoo Only £3.95
Hereditary hair loss is a genetic predisposition, not a disease. As such, it cannot be permanently cured but must be continuously treated. This is where Alpecin have proved valuable. The caffeine contained in Alpecin prevents the hair roots from following their hereditary propensity for increased hair loss and ensuing baldness.
Alpecin prevents hair loss – without any undesirable side effects.
When applied, it causes a fresh tingling on the scalp, its active ingredients travel along the hair sheath and form a depot sufficient for up to 24 hours. Every morning it takes just a small effort to ensure that the caffeine based ingredient combination protects you from hair loss.
With its caffeine-based ingredient combination, Alpecin keeps the hair roots active an helps extend their growth phase longer then genetically predisposed. This:
- Counteracts premature hair loss
- Increses hair root productivity
- Enhances the speed of hair growth
The active ingerdients are applied directly where they are needed. This way, Alpecin get straight to the areas that need it without being difficult to use and apply. Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo penetrates despite the fact that the shampoo is rinsed out.
After just 120 seconds on the scalp, the active ingredient travels along the hair shaft to directly reach the hair root. If the shampoo is left on for longer the caffeine will alos penetrate the scalp.
What to do about Dandruff and Hair Loss
Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo Only £5.50
Germs and microorganisms that naturally occur on the skin use sebum as a source of nutition. Degradation products of sebum irritate the skin, make it itch and accelerate the formation of the keratinous layer. The consequence is dandruff. Due to subsequently released sebum, these skin cells stick together to form large visible flakes.
Dr Wolff Research has developed a shampoo the simultaneously counteracts both problems – Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo.
1st Effect: In the first step, the Double Effect Shampoo lossens the crust keratinous cells and thouroughly removes dandruff from the scalp.
2nd Effect: The removal of dandruff from the scalp has prepared the way for the caffeine complex.
All Alpecin products are suitable to be used in conjunction with other hair loss products such as Regaine Foam.
Hair loss in men is extremely common. You only have to look around you.
In the UK, 8 million men suffer some degree of hair loss with almost 40% of men showing noticeable hair loss by the age of 35.
The most common type of hair loss is hereditary hair loss, which is also referred to as ‘male pattern baldness’ or ‘androgenetic alopecia’. This accounts for 95% of cases of hair loss in men.
As the name suggests, hereditary hair loss is an inherited condition which becomes increasingly common with age. It is thought to be linked to the male hormone, androgen.
Regaine Foam is a great new way to deliver Minoxidil, which is a highy effective medicinal ingredient. In a clinical study, 9 out of 10 men who use Regaine Foam twice daily said that they kept or re-grew hair.
Hold the can vertically to dispense the foam
It may take up to 16 weeks of using Regaine Foam twice a day, every day before most men will see an improvement in their condition.
Heat from the scalp allows the foam to dissolve quickly. Once the foam is dissolved it is absorbed into the affected area.
Regaine Foam is non-messy and it only has to be applied twice a day – in the morning and in the evening.
Before new hair can begin to grow, old hair may need to come out. Don’t worry if this happens – it’s all part of the process and it shows that your treatment has begun to work. Simply continue to apply Regaine Foam morning and night everyday. It is important to remember that once you stop using Regaine Foam the treatment benefits will be lost.[egg id=”4″]
Regaine Foam can be used at all stages of hair loss, but there is a greater chance of success if you start using it in the early stages.
Minoxidil can promote hair regrowth in four different ways;
- Stimulates follicles to move from resting to growth phase
- Increases length of time in the growing phase
- Increases blood flow to the follicle
- Works to reverse follicle miniaturisation
What Causes Hereditary Hair Loss?
There are 3 main stages of the Hair Cycle:
Stage 1 – Anagen or ‘Growth’ phase:
- Hair shaft diameter increases
- Hair reaches maximum length
- Lasts around 33 months
Stage 2 – Catagen or ‘ Transitional’ phase:
- Hair begins to stop growing
- Lasts around 2-3 weeks
Stage 3 – Telogen or ‘Resting’ phase:
- Hair Stops growing completely
- Hair shedding begins
- Lasts around 5-6 weeks
In hair loss, hair follicles shrink or miniaturise causing
- more hair follicles to enter the resting phase
- the resting phase to last longer
- the growth phase to get shorter
