    Introduction About SELSUN DAILY SHAMPOO

    Selsun Daily Shampoo is an antidandruff shampoo used to manage dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis (a scalp infection) and tinea versicolor (a common fungal infection causing small, discoloured patches of skin). It contains Selenium Disulfide as an active ingredient which reduces itching, flaking, irritation, and redness of the scalp.

    Selenium Disulfide works by slowing the growth of the organism that causes the infection.

    Always use Selsun Daily Shampoo as directed by your physician. It is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes.

    Selsun Daily Shampoo should not be used for the management of tinea versicolor during pregnancy unless clearly needed. It is not recommended for use in children (younger than 2 years of age) so, consult your child’s doctor for advice.
