Selenium disulfide, an active ingredient used in shampoos such as Selsun Blue.

Selenium disulfide is an inorganic compound with the approximate formula SeS.

Selenium disulfide can cause discoloration of the hair and alter the color of hair dyes.

Symptomatic scalp infections are often treated with selenium disulfide or ketoconazole containing shampoos.

The active ingredient in Clinical Strength Head & Shoulders is selenium disulfide 1%.

A number of antifungal treatments have been found to be effective including: ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione and selenium disulfide.

Hydrogen sulfide reacts with aqueous selenous acid to produce selenium disulfide:

Examples of such naming are selenium disulfide and titanium sulfide, which contains no sulfide ions whatsoever.

Selenium disulfide has a composition that approximates to SeS and is sometimes called selenium sulfide.

Selenium disulfide consists of 8-membered rings of a nearly statistical distribution of sulfur and selenium atoms.

Selenium disulfide is sold as an antifungal agent in shampoos for the treatment of dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis associated in the scalp with Malassezia genus fungi.

At the 2.5% strength, selenium disulfide is also used on the body to treat tinea versicolor, a type of fungal skin infection caused by a different species of Malassezia.

Selenium disulfide has been used in shampoo as an anti dandruff agent, an inhibitor in polymer chemistry, a glass dye, and a reducing agent in fireworks.

Selenium disulfide, also known as selenious disulfide, selenous disulfide, or selenium(IV) disulfide is a chemical compound.

A doctor may instead prescribe an antifungal soap such as ketoconazole (2%) shampoo, which can work in a single treatment and shows significantly less irritation than over-the-counter shampoos such as selenium disulfide shampoos, but no adequate and controlled study has been conducted for pediatric use as of 2010.

It can be used to remove dandruff from hair in the form of selenium sulfide.

These include selenium sulfide, an ingredient in some shampoos.

Selenium sulfide can refer to either of the following:

Selenium sulfide is being studied in the manufacture of photovoltaic solar cells.

Selenium sulfide is also known to reduce dryness of scalp and folliculitis.

Selenium sulfide is a poorly known chemical compound.

Selenium sulfide can be made by heating selenium and sulfur.

The first four types contain the active ingredient selenium sulfide which has been shown to have anti-fungal properties.

Many selenium sulfides are known.

Selenium sulfide is also used to treat tinea versicolor, a fungal infection of the skin.

It can usually be treated with long term use of a topical antifungal medications such as selenium sulfide shampoo.

Selenium sulfide slows down epidermal proliferation.

Selenium sulfide is used in medicinal shampoos and to treat skin infections such as tinea versicolor.

Treatment consists of topical application of dandruff shampoo, which contains selenium sulfide, over the skin.

For products containing selenium sulfide:

Drysdallite is a rare molybdenum selenium sulfide mineral with formula Mo(Se,S).

Selenium disulfide has a composition that approximates to SeS and is sometimes called selenium sulfide.

Selenium sulfide, zinc pyrithione, corticosteroids, imidazole antifungals, and salicylic acid are common anti-seborrheics.

These might contain ingredients such as miconazole, chlorhexidine, providone iodine, ketoconazole or selenium sulfide (which cannot be used on cats).

Keywords: selenium sulfides, sulfur–selenium melt, 77Se NMR spectroscopy.

The substance loosely called selenium sulfide (approximate formula SeS) is the active ingredient in some anti-dandruff shampoos.

Antifungal shampoos (Ketoconazole 2% shampoo or selenium sulfide 2.5% ) are effective as they reduce the transmission of the diseased hair by preventing its shedding.

These contain fungicides such as ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione and selenium sulfide, which reduce loose dander by killing Malassezia furfur.

As the selenium content increases, the relative amount of selenium bound in the polymer seems to increase at the expense of heterocyclic selenium sulfides.

The reaction produces also cyclooctaselenium Se8 and all other eight-member cyclic selenium sulfides, except SeS7, and several six- and seven-membered rings.
