Market Definition
Lice are wingless, blood-sucking insects that feed on the blood of humans and live on their heads or scalps. When lice suck blood from people, they inject saliva. Blood coagulation is prevented by injecting saliva. Pruritus is a disease caused by lice saliva entering the human circulatory system. The lice's saliva may trigger severe allergic reactions in some people, and the lice's sharp claws can cause itching and pain by moving through hair strands. Lice treatments (called pediculicides) are accessible without a prescription or over the counter. Shampoos, lotions, and cream rinses are among them.

COVID-19 Impact on Lice Treatment Market
Over the projected period, the lice treatment market was expected to be constrained by the COVID-19 outbreak. Since its emergence in December 2019, the COVID-19 virus has spread to nearly every country on the planet, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a public health emergency. COVID-19, a new coronavirus, was identified as the causal agent in the pneumonia cases. This virus spread quickly over the world, killing a large number of people. COVID-19 was labelled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, and rigorous measures to prevent the disease's spread were recommended. Since then, the pandemic has delayed the expansion of the healthcare sector and disrupted the supply chain. Furthermore, governments in many nations had imposed nationwide lockdowns to halt the spread of COVID-19. Similarly, healthcare organizations in numerous nations throughout the world were having difficulty continuing their supply chain activities. The supply chain slowness hampered the lice treatment market.

The prescription drug manufacturer usually initiates the changeover from prescription to over-the-counter. The evidence presented must demonstrate that the drug is safe and effective when used as instructed in the proposed labelling for it to be switched from prescription to nonprescription status. According to the company, consumers must be able to grasp how to use the drug safely and efficiently without the assistance of a healthcare expert.
