Description
Acne is the common cause of spots. Most people with acne are aged between 12 and 25 years, but some older and younger people are affected too. Small sebaceous glands lie just under your skin surface and make an oil (sebum) that keeps your skin supple and smooth. Tiny pores on your skin allow the sebum to come on to the surface of your skin. In acne, some of these pores become blocked, causing inflamed spots.
Antibiotics, like erythromycin (ingredient inside Zineryt), work by killing germs (bacteria) that can contribute to acne. They also reduce inflammation. Erythromycin usually works well to clear acne spots that are inflamed and any surrounding skin inflammation. Zineryt® skin solution also contains zinc acetate. This is thought to aid skin healing.
Uses / Instructions
Usually, Zineryt should be applied all over the affected area and the surrounding skin TWICE a DAY.
Successful treatment of acne may take several weeks or even months.
The normal treatment time is 10 to 12 weeks.
Warnings
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before using Zineryt.
Cross-resistance may occur with other antibiotics of the macrolide group and also with lincomycin and clindamycin.
Contact with the eyes or the mucous membranes of the nose and mouth should be avoided. However, if this
occurs, then rinse the affected area immediately with cold or lukewarm water for several minutes.
See the patient information leaflet for more details.
