Selenium sulfide 1% w/v shampoo (commonly)
Control and prevention of dandruff (pityriasis capitis) and seborrhoeic dermatitis-associated flaking, itching and scaling of the scalp
Selenium sulfide has anti-dandruff and antifungal activity and reduces overgrowth of Malassezia species on the scalp. It also slows excessive shedding of scalp skin cells, decreasing flaking and scaling.
For external use on scalp. Wet hair and scalp, apply sufficient shampoo, lather and leave on for 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if needed. Use daily or as directed; once controlled, reduce frequency to maintain results. Avoid contact with eyes, face and broken/irritated skin.
Common side effects of Selsun Daily Anti Dandruff Shampoo may include:
Do not use on broken/inflamed skin. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs rinse well with water. Stop use and consult a doctor if severe irritation, blistering, rash or worsening occurs. Rinse thoroughly to reduce residue; may discolor hair/jewellery and increase risk of hair color changes after perming/bleaching—avoid use within 48 hours before/after chemical hair treatments. Keep out of reach of children; for external use only.
