If you need to apply the shampoo on light, blonde, grey, or chemically treated (bleached, tinted, permanent-waved) hair, rinse your hair thoroughly for 5 minutes to decrease the chances of discolouration.

Selsun Suspension is safe to use with a doctor's advice and over a limited period (2-4 weeks). Let your doctor know if your symptoms are not relieved by then or experience any side effects.

Selsun Suspension is for topical (for skin) use only. Do not put a bandage or dressing on the affected area while treating unless the doctor advised. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. If you are wearing gold, silver or other metallic jewellery, remove them before using Selsun Suspension since it causes discolouration of objects.
