    Indications

    For the treatment of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and tinea versicolor.


    Contra-Indications

    Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Do not allow contact with broken or severely inflamed skin.


    Special Precautions

    Gold, silver and other metallic jewellery should be removed prior to use, since
    discoloration may be caused.
    For external use only. Keep out of the eyes; if Sebosel gets into the eyes, wash
    thoroughly with cold water.
    Do not leave the shampoo in contact with the hair or skin for more than the
    recommended duration as irritation, burning sensation or blistering may occur and do not use more often than recommended.


    Side Effects

    Application to the skin or scalp may produce irritation or sensitisation, sometimes described as a burning sensation. Rarely, blistering can occur, especially if the shampoo is kept in contact with the skin for longer than the recommended duration.
    An increase in the amount of normal hair loss can occur. Discoloration of the hair may occur; this can be avoided or minimised by thorough washing of the hair after treatment.
    As with other shampoos, oiliness or dryness of hair and scalp may occur.
    Non-specific allergic reactions, including rash and urticaria, have been reported
    rarely.


    Drug interactions

    Sebosel should be very thoroughly rinsed from the hair before dyeing, tinting, or
    permanent waving the hair. It should not be applied for a period of two days before or after any of these procedures.
