A small arrow pointing down

This Selenium Sulfide 2.5%/Zinc Pyrithione 1%/Urea 2.25% Shampoo is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin and scalp conditions. The active ingredients in this shampoo work synergistically to combat these conditions.

Selenium Sulfide, an antifungal agent, plays a crucial role in reducing the growth of fungi and bacteria on the skin. It works by slowing the growth of yeast on the skin, thereby reducing inflammation and the associated flaking and itching.

Zinc Pyrithione is another key ingredient in this formulation. It is both an antifungal and antibacterial agent, which aids in reducing the growth of fungi and bacteria on the skin.

Urea, a potent moisturizing agent, helps to hydrate the skin and reduce itching and flaking. It works by increasing the water content in the skin, making it softer and more pliable, thereby reducing flaking and itching associated with dry skin conditions.

To use this shampoo, apply it to the affected area twice daily, allowing it to remain on the skin for at least 5 minutes before rinsing. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes during application. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult with a healthcare provider. This shampoo is designed to provide a comprehensive solution for a variety of skin and scalp conditions, promoting healthier hair and scalp.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
