Uses of Selsun :
SELENIUM SULFIDE - TOPICAL
(seh-LEE-nee-um BROH-mide)
COMMON BRAND NAME(S):
Dandrex, Exsel, Selsun Blue
SELSUN USES:
This medication is used to treat dandruff; a certain scalp
infection (seborrheic dermatitis); and for a condition that
discolors the skin (tinea versicolor).
HOW TO USE SELSUN :
This medication is for topical use only. Avoid getting this
near the eyes. If this does get in the eyes, rinse them thoroughly
with clear water. Do not use this medication on cut or irritated
skin. For use in dandruff or scalp dermatitis, wash hair first
with regular shampoo. Shake lotion well. Massage the lotion
into wet scalp and allow it to remain for 2 to 3 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly and repeat. Begin with 2 applications per
week, then reduce to weekly or every other week applications
to maintain control. For skin infections, apply lotion to
affected area. Lather with a small amount of water. Allow
to remain on skin for 10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat
once a day for 7 days. Do not let selenium sulfide touch inflamed,
raw skin. Rinse genital areas and skin folds thoroughly after
contact with selenium sulfide. Do not leave selenium sulfide
on your hair, scalp, or skin for long periods (e.g., overnight)
because it is irritating. Rinse off all of the lotion.
SELSUN SIDE EFFECTS:
This medication may cause skin irritation, dry skin, or hair
loss. If any of these effects persist or worsen, discontinue
use and consult your doctor. If you notice other effects not
listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
SELSUN PRECAUTIONS:
Do not use this medication without first contacting your doctor
if you have the following conditions: inflamed or damaged
skin. Avoid getting selenium sulfide in your eyes. If the
medication gets into your eyes accidentally, rinse them with
clear water for several minutes. Do not use this medication
on children younger than two years of age without a doctor's
permission. Selenium sulfide should be used only when clearly
needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with
your doctor. It is not known if this drug is excreted into

SELSUN DRUG INTERACTIONS:
If you use other topical products (prescription or nonprescription),
consult your doctor before using selenium sulfide. Do not

center or emergency room immediately. This medicine may be
harmful if swallowed.
