Is a generic version of selenium sulfide available?
Yes. Selenium sulfide is the active ingredient itself, found in both brand-name and generic products. Common over-the-counter brand-name shampoos containing it include Selsun Blue Medicated and Head & Shoulders Clinical Strength. The prescription shampoo SelRx also contains selenium sulfide. Generic selenium sulfide shampoo is widely available. For lotion formulations used to treat fungal infections, only generic prescription versions are currently marketed.
What is selenium sulfide and what does it treat?
Selenium sulfide is an active pharmaceutical ingredient used in topical medications to manage fungal infections and scaling dandruff. It is most frequently formulated as a shampoo for dandruff control, available in both prescription and non-prescription strengths. As a prescription lotion, it treats various fungal skin conditions such as tinea versicolor, athlete's foot, jock itch, and ringworm. It works by inhibiting cell division. In dandruff, this slows the overgrowth of skin cells on the scalp that leads to flaking. For fungal infections, it helps control the growth of the causative organisms through a similar mechanism.
What side effects are associated with selenium sulfide?
Common side effects are typically localized and may include skin irritation, temporary hair discoloration, hair loss, or increased oiliness. Serious allergic reactions are rare but possible, and are sometimes triggered by inactive ingredients rather than selenium sulfide itself. Signs of an allergy can include itching, rash, hives, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any adverse reaction, stop using the product and consult your doctor for alternative treatments. This list is not exhaustive; discuss any concerns about potential side effects with your physician or pharmacist.
