Selsun 2.5% Suspension

Selsun 2.5% Suspension is a medicated topical product that falls under the class of antifungals, with its active component being Selenium Sulfide. While it’s best known for its skin and scalp applications, some users may experience mild side effects such as dryness, irritation, itching, or temporary hair discolouration. If you’re considering trying it, you might wonder about how long to leave it on, how often to use it, or whether it’s safe on sensitive skin — and don’ worry, we’ll help you with all of those! As always, consult your pharmacist or healthcare provider if you notice anything unusual.

Shake the bottle well before use, apply a small amount to the affected area, gently lather, then rinse thoroughly after leaving it on for a recommended duration.

The usual frequency is 1–2 times per week depending on your needs, and duration of use should follow advice from your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

Selsun 2.5% Suspension typically has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly.
