Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff 75Ml (Normal To Oily)

Overview & Mechanism of Action

• Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo ($75\text{ml}$ bottle containing Selenium Sulfide $1\%\text{ w/v}$) combines active antifungal action with oil-clarifying properties for targeted scalp hygiene:
• Antifungal & Yeast Suppression: Selenium Sulfide exerts direct cytostatic and fungicidal activity against Malassezia (Pityrosporum ovale) yeasts—the primary causative microorganism in scalp inflammation, seborrhea, and persistent dandruff flaking.
• Epidermal Turnover Normalization: Slows down the mitotic cell division rate within scalp epidermal tissue, reducing the hyper-proliferation and shedding of keratinized scalp cells that form visible flakes.
• Sebum Clarification & Oil Balance: Specially formulated for normal to oily scalps to remove excess sebum, clear scalp pores, and eliminate greasy residues without stripping essential scalp moisture.

Clinical Indications & Uses

• Selsun Blue Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 75ml (Normal to Oily) is indicated for:
• Treatment and long-term control of moderate-to-severe dandruff, flaking, and scaling on oil-prone scalps
• Symptomatic management of seborrheic dermatitis affecting the scalp and hairline
• Adjunctive topical treatment for superficial fungal infections such as Tinea Versicolor (Pityriasis Versicolor)

Usage Guidance & Safety Precautions

Administration:

• Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Apply a small amount to wet hair and scalp, massage into a lather, and leave 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 excess oiliness, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Maintenance: Alternate with a regular clarification shampoo once symptoms are controlled to maintain scalp health.

Precautions & Warnings:

• For external dermatological use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse immediately 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 metal jewelry prior to application to prevent tarnishing. Store below $25^\circ\text{C}$ in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
