You should not stop your use of this medical product without the approval of your specialist, even if your symptoms have completely disappeared – you should know that your clinical manifestations may clear before the infection has healed.

Selsun Missed Dose

The use of extra doses of this topical remedy will not make up for the skipped dose; furthermore, individuals who use larger doses of this medication are more prone to developing the severe adverse reactions of Selsun. Over-dosage with this topical remedy has also been reported due to similar causes.

Patients who experience the unpleasant symptoms of such a condition (swelling, hives, skin rash / itching, breathing disturbances, urticaria, and so on) should stop their treatment and seek professional medical care.
