Pediatrician Questions Head Lice

Is there a medicated shampoo that really works to get rid of head lice?

My 12 year old daughter has celiac disease and needs to stay away from all things containing gluten. She recently got head lice from a friend, and I am wondering if there are any medicated shampoos that are gluten free that will get rid of them.

Nix or Rid usually will kill them. I do not know if they are gluten-free. There should be minimal absorption through the scalp. She should not put it near her eyes or mouth.
