Spinocid Suspension 0.9% w/w contains Spinosad, a topical pediculicide used for the treatment of head lice (pediculosis capitis). Spinosad is derived from naturally occurring bacterial fermentation products and acts as a potent neurotoxin for lice while being safe for human use.

Unlike traditional lice treatments, Spinocid does not require nit combing in most cases and is effective against both lice and their eggs (nits). Its formulation provides a convenient and easy-to-apply suspension for children and adults.
