What Kind Of Shampoo To Be Used While Using The Malathio Lotion?

Hello, I will be using the Malathio Lotion on my daughters, I understand it has to remain on their hair for 8-12 hrs, when its time to shampoo off, what kind of shampoo should I use? Would it be too much, if I used another lice killing shampoo like Rid, for their scalp? They are 3 and 5.

Hello,
Thank you for writing to HCM

Since kids are below 6 years of age I advice you to use baby shampoo to rinse malathion lotion.
Using another anti-lice shampoo is not necessary.
Do not wash with hot water.

Regards
