FAQs
Q. What is Seldan Shampoo? What is it used for?
Seldan Shampoo is an antifungal medication used to control scaling, flaking and itching caused by dandruff. Dandruff is caused by excessive growth of Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur), which is part of normal skin flora. It is also used to treat irregular white or brown patches which occur on the body and sometimes appear after being in the sun (tinea/pityriasis versicolor). Regular application of Seldan Shampoo on the scalp relieves itching and discomfort in people suffering from dandruff.
Q. Can Seldan Shampoo be used in kids?
No, Seldan Shampoo should not be used in kids as the safety with this medicine in the children is yet to be known. Refrain from self-medicating this medication in children or yourself. Always consult your doctor before using Seldan Shampoo.
Q. Is Seldan Shampoo an antibacterial agent?
No, Seldan Shampoo is not an antibacterial agent. It is an antifungal medicine which is used to treat dandruff. Pityrosporum orbiculare (Malassezia furfur) is a fungus which plays an important role in the development of dandruff. Seldan Shampoo being an antifungal agent is very effective against the fungal infection causing the dandruff.
Q. How often should I use Seldan Shampoo?
If you are using it to treat dandruff, use it only twice weekly and if you are using it to prevent dandruff, use it once weekly. Do not use Seldan Shampoo more often than directed. However, if not sure, consult your doctor.

Q. I have started using Seldan Shampoo. By when can I expect to start seeing the improvements?
The symptoms of the infection, such as itching or soreness, should improve within a few days of treatment. However, signs such as redness and scaling may take longer to disappear. Do not stop applying this medicine before the duration advised by your doctor, even if you feel better.
Q. Can Seldan Shampoo affect vision if it gets into the eye while washing hair?
Be careful while washing your hair and do not let the shampoo get into the eye. However, if it accidentally enters the eye, do not worry and wash your eyes gently with water.
Q. What if someone accidentally swallows Seldan Shampoo?
Seldan Shampoo is meant for external use only and you should use it carefully so that it does not get into the mouth.
