Medicine Description selsun-blue
selsun blue 118 ml shampoo is a medication that contains selenium sulfide, which exhibits antifungal properties by inhibiting the growth of fungi and yeast present on the scalp. It achieves this by disrupting the cell membranes of the fungi, thereby leading to their destruction. This action effectively reduces the fungal load responsible for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Additionally, selenium sulfide helps to decrease scalp oiliness by normalizing the production of sebum, which can contribute to the irritation and flaking associated with dandruff.
