Selsun Shampoo 120ml is a specialized antifungal medicated shampoo designed to effectively treat and control conditions like dandruff and tinea versicolor. Its active ingredient, Selenium Sulphide 2.5% w/v, works by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells on the scalp, which is a primary cause of dandruff, and by combating the fungal infection responsible for tinea versicolor (a common condition causing discoloured skin patches).
The Selenium Sulphide 2.5% w/v in Selsun Shampoo 120ml has a cytostatic effect, meaning it helps to reduce the overproduction of skin cells on the scalp. This action relieves itching, flaking, and removes the dry, scaly particles associated with dandruff, promoting a healthier scalp.
Always use Selsun Shampoo 120ml exactly as directed by your physician or as per the instructions on the label. It is strictly for external use on the skin and scalp. Take care to avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. This shampoo should not be used if you have acute inflammation or oozing (exudation) on the affected areas.
If you are pregnant, consult your doctor before using Selsun Shampoo 120ml, especially for tinea versicolor treatment. The safety and effectiveness of this product in infants have not been established, so always seek your child's doctor's advice before use on young children.
