Nicht nur in Deutschland, sondern auch in Großbritannien gibt es NYDA® jetzt auf Rezept: Weil bis zu 80 Prozent der Kopfläuse im Vereinigten Königreich resistent gegen klassische Insektizide auf neurotoxischer Basis geworden sind, entschied jetzt der National Health Service (NHS): Kinder bis zum 16. Lebensjahr erhalten NYDA® auf Kassenrezept. Das 2-Stufen Dimeticon lässt Kopfläuse und ihre Vorstufen sicher ersticken. Aufgrund des physikalischen Wirkmechanismus sind Resistenzen äußerst unwahrscheinlich.
NHS makes NYDA®, clinically proven to eradicate head lice and their eggs,
FREE on prescription for children
NYDA®, the groundbreaking head lice treatment – clinically proven to leave children and families free of head lice and their eggs (nits) 1,2,3,4,4a,5 – has (from the 1st of April) been approved by the NHS. This means it can be prescribed FREE of charge to children under 16 in the United Kingdom by the family GP, practice nurse**, healthcare visitor** or prescribing pharmacist**.
Already the No 1 brand in Germany6, NYDA® is the first head lice treatment to be approved by the NHS in more than four years. It is based on a special dual formula of 92% dimeticone and works by suffocating the lice and eggs. (Dimeticone is a form of silicone so safe that it is used for treating colic in babies, and it moisturises and protects the skin.) NYDA® is also proven to be superior to other dimeticone treatments, including 4% dimeticone (Hedrin)1,4,4a.
In Scotland, NYDA® is also available FREE to children under 16 on the Scottish Minor Ailments Scheme. To find out more, visit your local pharmacy or any supermarket with an in-store pharmacy.
Why HaS THE NHS DECIDED THAT NYDA® IS needed to treat head lice infestations?
At any given time, 20% of children in the UK7 – there are 10.9 million under the age of 158 – are estimated to be suffering a head lice infestation. 71% of parents seek immediate treatment, often driven by feelings of disgust and horror9.
Why do 2.1 million UK children6,7 have head lice at any given time?
Currently, UK parents rarely succeed in breaking the louse lifecycle, which means they are not getting head lice and louse eggs (nits) out of their children’s hair. The reasons for this are: failing to check regularly for head lice – 60% check once a month or less often; failing to follow treatment instructions properly (53%), head lice that – in up to 80% of cases – are resistant to traditional insecticide-based treatments10, and the social stigma felt by parents when their children are infested (71%), which can prevent them from seeking help with eradication8.
MAKING THINGS WORSE: POOR ACCESS TO EFFECTIVE HEAD LICE TREATMENTS AND TO PRESCRIPTION SERVICES
The head lice problem is further compounded by poor access to quality head lice treatments, coupled with limited access to prescription services in the community. Although head lice treatments can be prescribed free to children under 16 across the UK, in reality it all depends on where you live.
Scotland and Northern Ireland both operate a national Minor Ailments Scheme with community pharmacies. This means that parents can go straight to their local pharmacy or supermarket pharmacy and receive FREE head lice treatments with an identified head louse infestation. In other words there is no need to go to your doctor for a prescription.
In England, however, parents fall victim to the NHS postcode lottery, with just 13% of Primary Care Trusts giving parents access to free head lice treatments through community pharmacies. It is estimated that as few as 20 out of 152 Primary Care Trusts will allow community pharmacies to prescribe head lice treatments FREE of charge to children under 16, thus forcing many parents to buy over-the-counter treatments or wait for an appointment with their GP or healthcare professional.
As a consequence, time-poor parents now spend £25.3* million on over-the-counter head lice remedies and treatments, of which more than half will fail to work. By contrast, the NHS in England prescribes just £1.8 million of head lice treatments per year.
Babs Young, Independent Nurse Consultant, Children and Young Peoples Public Health and NYDA®’s Nurse Advisor, commented:
“Head lice are not considered to be a high-priority health issue as they do not pose a major public health hazard, but continued infestations can have a long-term social impact on children and families. That’s why it’s so important for parents to have access to quality products, whether free on prescription or bought over the counter.
“Parents sometimes panic at the sight of lice, feeling disgust and anxiety when they discover an infestation. Younger children are less likely to get emotional about it, but they can still suffer as a consequence – losing days from school, experiencing disturbed sleep patterns through itching and discomfort, and so losing concentration in the daytime. Some may experience bullying and exclusion from peer groups. Older children can react more like adults, often feeling embarrassment and shame.
“School nurses used to be in a position to take responsibility for prevention, identification and treatment, while these days the responsibility lies with parents, but it is the duty of health professionals to support parents by providing quality education, advice and information on easy access to prescription services.”
HOW NYDA® WORKS
NYDA® is a clear liquid (92% dimeticone dual formula) that works physically rather than with chemical pesticides: it kills head lice and their eggs by suffocating them2. Rather like a hair conditioner, NYDA® gently coats the individual strands of hair, but it also coats any lice and eggs that are present and enters their tiny breathing holes, suffocating them. Laboratory tests have proven that after just one treatment head lice treated with NYDA® die within one minute1, while their eggs die within 8 hours5. NYDA® is lethal on lice, yet, easy to use, safe and does not cause skin irritation
NYDA®: Head lice are not resistant
Over the years, head lice have developed a resistance to many traditional pesticide-based treatments, which poison the lice. As a result, when an outbreak of lice occurs, pesticide-based treatments often simply do not work10. Because NYDA® works in a physical way, suffocating head lice and their eggs, the insects are very unlikely develop resistance to NYDA®4,4a.
How to use NYDA®
Identify the presence of head lice using the special NYDA® detection comb. Then simply use the pump spray supplied to apply NYDA® over your child’s entire head of hair. Part the hair with the special NYDA® detection comb, spray on the lotion, working from the roots downwards , and then massage the lotion in to make sure the section of hair around the parting is fully covered. Then, repeat the process for another section of hair. After 30 minutes, use the special NYDA® comb supplied to remove the dead lice. Then, leave non-greasy NYDA® in your child’s hair for eight hours (overnight is ideal). Afterwards, comb and wash the hair. NYDA® completely eliminates the need for tedious, unpleasant ‘bug-busting’ (combing your child’s hair to find live lice and their eggs and then removing them by hand, which is only 38% - 57% successful11,12).

Gepan instill hilft kausalnah bei chronischen Blasenentzündungen
Als wahrscheinliche Ursache chronischer Blasen-Entzündungen gilt heute unter Experten ein Defekt der äußersten Blasenschutzschicht. Sie enthält im Wesentlichen Chondroitinsulfat und bildet die Grenze zwischen Urin und Urothel. Ist die Schutz-Schicht geschädigt, können reizende Substanzen aus dem Urin bis in die tiefer gelegene Schichten der Blasenwand vordringen – und verursachen die typischen Symptome. Die Blasenspülung mit Gepan® instill versorgt die Blasenschutz-Schicht mit ihrem Baustein Chondroitinsulfat und behebt den Defekt. Davon profitieren Blasen-Patienten: Symptome wie imperativer Harndrang, häufige Miktionsfrequenz und Schmerzen werden deutlich gelindert.
Auf der Website www.gepan-instill.de beantworten Experten die wichtigsten Fragen zu chronischen Cystitiden. Videos erklären den Wirkmechanismus von Gepan® instill und zeigen, wie eine zielgerichtete Beckenboden-Gymnastik die medikamentöse Therapie unterstützt. Gepan® instill wird nicht von den gesetzlichen Krankenkassen erstattet. Um die Patienten wirtschaftlich zu entlasten, gewährt der Hersteller Pohl-Boskamp ab sofort einen Preisnachlass von 80 Euro für die Packung mit 4 Fertigspritzen. Mit einem Click auf www.gepan-instill.de können sich Betroffene den Preisvorteil sichern.

Selim Sesler, der international für seine türkische Roma-Musik bekannte Klarinettist, begeisterte mit seiner Band und Sängerin 500 Zuhörer in der Kartoffelhalle Pohl-Boskamp mit orientalisch virtuoser Musik aus zarten Tönen und fröhlich dynamischen Melodien.
Musik im Blut
Musik ist für Roma Leidenschaft, Lust und Lebensunterhalt. Schon früh führen sie ihre Kinder an die Musik heran - nicht nur zur Unterhaltung, sondern auch damit sie lernen, ihren Lebensunterhalt damit zu verdienen. Diese Leidenschaft strahlten die anatolische Hochzeitsmusik von Selim Sesler & Friends aus. Bredo, der Kultmoderator und DJ Bülent Kayaturan, begleiten das Konzert mit Erklärungen zum Ablauf einer türkischen Hochzeit, zur Musik und speziell ihrer Rhythmik, die uns heute mit ihren dynamischen Brüchen in manchem Jazz-Stil begegnet. So wirkte das Konzert zwar exotisch und doch ungemein frisch, nicht zuletzt weil die Musiker mit ihren solistischen Parts virtuos den Klang von Klarinette, Kanun (Zither), Violine und Trommel ausreizten. Ein Klang, der sich in der guten Akustik der ausverkauften Kartoffelhalle Pohl-Boskamp angenehm ausbreitete, ebenso die Stimme der als bunte, tanzende Zigeunerin aufgetretenen Sängerin. ein mutiges Konzept des Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festivals ging erneut auf: Hochklassige originäre Musik und Musiker aus anderen Ländern an besonderen Spielorten. Die begeisterten Zuhörer bedankten sich mit kräftigem Beifall für sein Konzert am 18. August in der Kartoffelhalle von Konzertsponsor Pohl-Boskamp.

Dass die Wahl auf Werder Bremen fiel, erklärt sich deshalb nicht nur aus der verbindenden grün-weißen Farbwelt. Werder Bremen - erst kürzlich zu Deutschlands beliebtestem Fußballverein gekürt - besitzt als Traditionsclub ein klares und charakteristisches Profil. Dies gilt in gleichem Maße für Pohl-Boskamp: seit fast 175 Jahren existiert der Hersteller von Medizinprodukten und Arzneimitteln wie GeloMyrtol® forte* und Gelo® – Stark in Atemwegen und ist bis heute ein Familienunternehmen. Auch Manfred Müller, Geschäftsführer bei Werder Bremen, findet: „Wir passen gut zusammen und freuen uns deshalb sehr, dass wir Pohl-Boskamp als Sponsor gewinnen konnten.“ Das Engagement bei Werder Bremen ist langfristig angelegt: Pohl-Boskamp will den Traditionsclub an der Weser bis mindestens zum Ende der Saison 2011/2012 begleiten und dabei vor allem etwas für die Entwicklung der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit im Verein tun.
Pohl Boskamp und Werder Bremen – Wir machen Erfolg spürbar!
