Selsun Suspension 60 ml is an antifungal medication, primarily used to treat seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff or scaly patches and red skin on the scalp), and tinea versicolor (a fungus that discolours the skin). Dandruff is a skin condition that causes itchy and scaly white or greyish flakes on the scalp skin.
Selsun Suspension 60 ml contains Selenium sulphide, an antifungal agent. It relieves itching and flaking of the scalp and removes the dry, scaly particles. It reduces skin damage due to infection, decreases flaking or scaling of the skin and helps in new skin formation. It blocks the enzymes that are involved in epithelial tissue growth.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Selsun Suspension 60 ml is for external use only. If the medicine gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water.
