Selenium Sulfide USP
Abstract
Selenium sulfide is an inorganic compound with the approximate formula SeS2. Both sulfur and selenium catenate form chains and rings readily, and mixtures of selenium and sulfur likewise give rise to numerous “alloys”. This compound is not an analogue of sulfur dioxide.
Use/Application
Selenium sulfide 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 sulfide is also used on the body to treat tinea versicolor, a type of fungal skin infection caused by a different species of Malassezia.
