Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff 75Ml (Moisturizing)

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($75\text{ml}$ bottle containing Selenium Sulfide $1\%\text{ w/v}$) combines antifungal efficacy with deep conditioning properties for complete scalp care:
• Antifungal & Malassezia Suppression: Selenium Sulfide exerts direct cytostatic and fungicidal activity against Malassezia (Pityrosporum ovale) yeasts—the primary causative micro-organisms underlying scalp inflammation, hyper-seborrhea, and severe dandruff.
• Epidermal Turnover Normalization: Inhibits the mitotic rate of epidermal cells on the scalp, significantly reducing the rapid shedding of hyperkeratotic skin cells and preventing visible flake accumulation.
• Moisturizing & Scalp Soothing Formula: Specially infused with Aloe Vera and conditioning agents to restore moisture balance to the hair and scalp, preventing hair dryness, coarseness, and localized scaling during frequent treatment.

Clinical Indications & Uses

• Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 75ml (Moisturizing) is indicated for:
• Treatment and long-term control of moderate-to-severe dandruff flaking, irritation, and scalp pruritus
• Symptomatic management of seborrheic dermatitis affecting the scalp and hair-bearing areas
• Adjunctive topical treatment for superficial cutaneous fungal infections such as Tinea Versicolor (Pityriasis Versicolor)

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Shake the bottle well before use. Apply a small amount to wet hair and scalp, massage gently to form a lather, and allow the shampoo to remain on the scalp for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. Repeat application if necessary.

Recommended Dosage:

• Active Treatment: Use 2 to 3 times weekly for active control of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, or as recommended by a dermatologist.
• Maintenance: Alternate with a regular gentle shampoo once symptoms are controlled to maintain a flake-free scalp.

Precautions & Warnings:

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, flush immediately and thoroughly with clean water. Do not apply to acutely inflamed, broken, or raw skin. May cause discoloration of light-colored, bleached, tinted, or permed hair if not thoroughly rinsed out. Remove all jewelry before application, as selenium sulfide may tarnish metallic surfaces. Store below $25^\circ\text{C}$ in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
