Treatment and prevention of dandruff (pityriasis capitis) and seborrhoeic dermatitis of the scalp; also used for tinea versicolor (pityriasis versicolor) as directed by a doctor.

Selenium sulfide has antifungal and cytostatic actions. It reduces the growth of Malassezia yeast and slows down excessive shedding/turnover of scalp skin cells, thereby decreasing flaking, itching and redness.

For dandruff/seborrhoeic dermatitis: Wet hair and scalp, apply sufficient shampoo, massage to lather and leave for 2–3 minutes, then rinse thoroughly; repeat if advised. Typically use 2 times weekly for 2 weeks, then once weekly or as needed. For tinea versicolor: apply to affected skin, lather and leave 10 minutes then rinse, usually once daily for 7 days or as prescribed. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and broken/irritated skin; wash hands after use.

Scalp irritation, itching, burning or stinging, dryness or oiliness of hair/scalp, redness, increased hair shedding (rare), hair discoloration (especially dyed/bleached or grey hair), unpleasant odor

For external use only. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes; if contact occurs, rinse well with water. Do not use on inflamed, broken or very irritated skin unless advised. Stop use and seek medical advice if severe irritation, rash or swelling occurs. Use cautiously in children and during pregnancy/breastfeeding—consult a doctor. Rinse thoroughly; do not leave on longer than recommended. May discolor jewelry and hair, especially with chemical treatments; avoid using within 48 hours of hair dye/perm and rinse well.

Topical interactions are minimal. Increased risk of irritation if used with other harsh/keratolytic scalp products (e.g., salicylic acid, coal tar, benzoyl peroxide, strong anti-dandruff/medicated shampoos) or immediately after chemical hair treatments.
