NYDA is a scientifically formulated head lice treatment brand developed by Pohl-Boskamp GmbH & Co. KG, a respected German pharmaceutical company with a legacy dating back to 1835. Headquartered in Hohenlockstedt, Germany, Pohl-Boskamp is known for its commitment to developing innovative, evidence-based medical solutions. NYDA was launched in the early 2000s in response to growing global concerns over the ineffectiveness of traditional insecticide-based lice treatments, especially due to chemical resistance and safety issues among children. NYDA's development marked a turning point in pediculosis management by introducing a completely pesticide-free, physical-action approach to lice elimination. 

NYDA is best known for its innovative, non-chemical approach to eradicating head lice, eggs (nits), and larvae by physical suffocation rather than by traditional insecticides. The defining feature of NYDA is its dual-dimeticone technology. Unlike conventional treatments that rely on neurotoxic insecticides, NYDA uses two medical-grade silicone oils—low-viscosity dimeticone, which spreads rapidly and penetrates the spiracles (breathing holes) of lice, and high-viscosity dimeticone, which clogs those spiracles, leading to suffocation. These ingredients, combined with medium-chain triglycerides, jojoba wax, and (in the original version) fragrances, enable the solution to rapidly penetrate the breathing systems of lice at all life stages, displace air, and then thicken to seal the airways, causing suffocation within seconds. This mode of action not only kills adult lice but also nymphs (immature lice) and nits (eggs)—which are often difficult to eliminate with chemical alternatives. Laboratory and clinical studies have demonstrated that NYDA can achieve up to 100% efficacy within 20 minutes, with some results showing complete lice immobilization in under 60 seconds. This mechanism is distinct from conventional pediculicides, which are often pesticides that may leave eggs viable and can lead to resistance. NYDA also offers a fragrance-free version for sensitive users. 

In addition to its high performance, NYDA is also designed for ease of use and safety. The formulation includes jojoba oil and medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to improve hair manageability and scalp comfort, making the combing process easier for children and parents alike. The application process is simple: the solution is sprayed directly onto dry hair, massaged in thoroughly, left for the specified treatment time, and then combed out with a fine-tooth lice comb included in the package. The treatment protocol involves two applications: the first to address the current infestation, and a second 8–10 days later to eliminate any newly hatched lice. Fine-combing is strongly recommended both before and after treatment to ensure complete removal.

NYDA’s effectiveness has been supported by peer-reviewed clinical research, including studies published in the Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases and other international medical journals. These studies confirm NYDA’s superiority over standard insecticidal treatments, particularly in environments where lice have developed resistance to active ingredients like permethrin or malathion. Additionally, NYDA is praised for its non-toxicity, no risk of neurological side effects, and safe usage for children as young as 6 months old, depending on the variant. Beyond performance, the NYDA brand also represents a broader commitment to safe and responsible healthcare. Its parent company, Pohl-Boskamp, has built a reputation for producing high-quality pharmaceuticals and medical devices that meet stringent European and international safety standards.

NYDA is a leading German brand of head lice treatments that uses a dual-dimeticone physical mode of action to safely and effectively kill lice and their eggs without pesticides. Manufactured by Pohl-Boskamp, NYDA offers fast, non-toxic, and resistance-free treatment options trusted by healthcare providers, pharmacists, and parents worldwide. It continues to be one of the most recommended solutions for safe, efficient, and scientifically validated lice management. NYDA stands out in the lice treatment market as a European-developed, Canadian-distributed, non-pesticide alternative that combines rapid efficacy, safety, and a unique physical mode of action, making it a preferred choice for many Canadian families and healthcare providers seeking effective lice control without chemical exposure.
