The Pharmacist’s Take By · Clinical pharmacist · Written

Selenium sulfide is one of the classic dandruff-shampoo ingredients, used to relieve flaking and itching from dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis (a red, flaky, itchy skin condition) and keep them from returning, apparently by slowing how fast scalp skin cells are made; it has been around since about 1951 and is available generically and over the counter. It is generally well tolerated; what people notice most is scalp irritation, hair that feels oilier or drier, and occasionally some hair discoloration. Use it only on the scalp, never on broken or inflamed skin, and stop and see a doctor if flaking worsens or does not improve with regular use.

Clinical pearls

  • Leave the lather on your scalp for several minutes before rinsing, because a quick wash-and-rinse wastes much of the benefit.
  • Rinse very thoroughly, especially with blond, gray or color-treated hair, since leftover product can discolor hair.
  • Keep it out of your eyes and off the genital area, and if it gets in your eyes, rinse well with water.
  • Store it out of children's reach, and if anyone swallows some, get medical help or call Poison Control right away.

Patient Information Guide A plain-language walkthrough of Selenium Sulfide, written from its FDA label.

What Selenium Sulfide Is Used For

▾

Selenium sulfide is used on the scalp for dandruff-related problems. Supported uses include:

  • Relieving flaking and itching from dandruff
  • Relieving flaking and itching from seborrheic dermatitis
  • Helping prevent dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis from coming back
  • Some products (such as Silvagle, Prosoria Medicated and Hairitage) also list relief of irritation, redness and scaling

How Selenium Sulfide Works

▾

Selenium sulfide appears to slow the growth of cells in the top layer of skin and in the hair follicles. This reduces the production of flaky skin cells. How it works when applied to the skin is not yet fully known.

Selenium Sulfide Dosage

▾

Selenium sulfide shampoos are applied to wet hair and scalp, massaged in, and rinsed out. Most labels suggest using them at least twice a week for best results, or as directed by a doctor.

  • Many products say to shake the bottle well first.
  • Some say you can repeat the wash if desired.
  • CVS Gold says to leave it on for 3-5 minutes before rinsing.
  • Some Head and Shoulders and other dandruff products say to rinse for at least 5 minutes if used on bleached, tinted, gray or permed hair.

Follow your product label and your prescriber's advice.

Selenium Sulfide Side Effects

▾

Side effects are mostly limited to the scalp and hair.

Common side effects

  • Skin irritation
  • Increase in normal hair loss (occasionally reported)
  • Hair discoloration (rinsing thoroughly helps avoid it)
  • Oiliness of hair and scalp
  • Dryness of hair and scalp
  • Occasional increase in normal hair loss
  • Hair discoloration, which thorough rinsing can help avoid or minimize

When to get medical help

  • Stop use and call a doctor if your condition gets worse or does not improve after regular use as directed.
  • Stop use if you have an allergic reaction.
  • If swallowed, get medical help or call Poison Control right away.
  • If it gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.

Stop use if you have an allergic reaction. Ask a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve.

Selenium Sulfide Warnings and Precautions

▾
  • For external use only. Swallowing it needs medical help or a call to Poison Control right away.
  • Do not use on broken skin or inflamed areas.
  • Avoid the eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Avoid the genital area, where it may cause irritation and burning.
  • Stop use and ask a doctor if your condition gets worse or does not improve with regular use.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Before Taking Selenium Sulfide

▾
  • Do not use it if you know or suspect you are allergic to any ingredient in the product.
  • Avoid using it on broken or inflamed skin.
  • Keep it away from children.

Selenium Sulfide Overdose

▾

Selenium sulfide is for external use only. For the 2.5% topical suspension (lotion), there have been no documented reports of serious toxicity in humans from swallowing it. Animal studies suggest that large amounts could be harmful, so emptying the stomach should be considered after a large accidental swallow. If anyone swallows it, get medical help or call Poison Control right away.

What Selenium Sulfide Does in the Body

▾

Selenium sulfide appears to have a cytostatic effect (it slows cell growth) on cells of the epidermis (outer skin layer) and follicular epithelium (the lining of hair follicles). This reduces corneocyte production, meaning fewer flaky skin cells form.

How to Store Selenium Sulfide

▾

Store at 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F), excursions permitted between 15°C to 30°C (between 59°F to 86°F). Protect from freezing and excessive heat.

Selenium Sulfide: Pharmacist Answers to Common Questions

Quick, plain-English answers to the questions patients ask most about Selenium Sulfide — the kind of thing our pharmacy team would talk through with you at the counter.

What is selenium sulfide used for?

▾
It's used on the scalp to relieve flaking and itching from dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It also helps keep those problems from coming back. Some products also list relief of redness, irritation and scaling.

How often should I use it?

▾
Most labels say to use it at least twice a week for best results, or as your doctor directs. Some say you can use it every time you shampoo for maximum control. Check your own product's directions.

What side effects might I notice?

▾
Some people get skin irritation, or oily or dry hair and scalp. Hair discoloration and a bit more hair shedding have been reported occasionally. Rinsing thoroughly after use helps avoid discoloration.

Is there anything I should avoid?

▾
Keep it out of your eyes and away from the genital area, since it can cause irritation and burning. Don't use it on broken or inflamed skin. If you get it in your eyes, rinse well with water.

When should I stop using it and call someone?

▾
Stop if you have an allergic reaction. Also check in with a doctor if your dandruff gets worse or doesn't improve with regular use. If anyone swallows it, get medical help or call Poison Control right away.

Is Selenium Sulfide available over the counter?

▾
Both. Some Selenium Sulfide products are sold over the counter and others need a prescription. According to their FDA listings, the topical cream, ointment or gel form is sold both ways, at different strengths or package sizes and the topical solution form is sold over the counter. The package says which kind you have. Your pharmacist can tell you which product is right for you.

When was Selenium Sulfide first available?

▾
The earliest FDA record we hold for Selenium Sulfide is from 1951: its first approval in Drugs@FDA or its earliest product listing in the NDC Directory, whichever is older. Many older medicines were in use before their first formal FDA approval, so this is the earliest date on record, not necessarily when Selenium Sulfide was first used.

Who makes Selenium Sulfide?

▾
28 companies currently list Selenium Sulfide products in the FDA's NDC Directory, including The Procter & Gamble Manufacturing Company, Walgreen Company, Chattem, Inc.. That count includes repackagers and distributors as well as manufacturers (companies that sell only the raw ingredient are not counted), so fewer companies actually make it; the label on your bottle names the one that supplied yours.

How Widely Selenium Sulfide Is Used (Medicaid Data)

A general measure of how commonly Selenium Sulfide is prescribed, based on Medicaid — one of the largest public drug programs. The figure below is prescriptions filled in Q1–Q4 2025, summed across every form and brand of the drug.

Think of this as a proxy for how widely Selenium Sulfide is used, drawn from freely available public data. Medicaid is just one program — these numbers don’t include Medicare, other government coverage, or commercial and cash-pay prescriptions, so real-world use is higher than what’s shown here.
