What is Zineryt lotion for?
Zineryt lotion is a topical acne treatment which contains an antibiotic called erythromycin.
The antibiotic kills the bacteria associated with acne, allowing the skin to naturally heal itself. The solution contains zinc to help the skin absorb the medicine and improve its healing capabilities.
Unlike acne creams, Zineryt does not come ready-made. Our pharmacist will pre-mix the chemicals before sending it to you. Once mixed, the medicine has a shelf life of between 5 and 8 weeks.
Zineryt is only available on prescription in the UK. One of our online doctors can issue a private prescription for Zineryt following an online consultation.
How does Zineryt lotion work against acne?
Zineryt contains erythromycin and zinc.
Erythromycin kills the bacteria that causes acne.
These bacteria thrive on the surplus of sebum which builds up in clogged skin pores. They excrete chemicals which irritate the skin and cause inflammation.
By reducing the amount of bacteria and their harmful excretions, the affected skin area is able to heal quicker.
Zinc is believed to help the skin to heal faster and is used in a wide number of treatments for all manner of ailments, including wound dressings.
Together, the two key ingredients of Zineryt help to significantly reduce acne.
How long does Zineryt take to work?
It may take between 10 and 12 weeks of treatment with Zineryt for acne to clear up.
If your acne returns, you may be able to restart treatment with Zineryt. Speak to a doctor about restarting treatment.
If no improvement is seen within 8 weeks, or if acne worsens, stop using Zineryt and speak to a doctor.
You can message one of our online doctors through your Prescription Doctor account. If you have any concerns about your treatment, you can inform one of our doctors, whom can discuss your concerns with you.
How to use Zineryt lotion?
Zineryt comes as a dry powder and a solvent, which need to be mixed together before you can use it.
Our pharmacist will mix the solution for you before they send it, so that it's ready to use right away.
One of our online doctors will instruct you how to use Zineryt, incuding how much to use and how often you should use it.
According to the patient information leaflet, Zineryt should be applied twice a day to the affected areas.
The bottle comes with a special applicator pad built into the cap. The applicator pad makes it easier to evenly apply the lotion to your skin.
Before you use Zineryt, wash the area you will be applying the solution to.
- Remove the cap to expose the applicator.
- Tip the bottle upside down, so that the pad is facing downwards. This flows the solution in the pad evenly. Do not squeeze the bottle when you do this.
- Hold the pad against your face or skin and gently spread the solution over the infected area. Make sure you cover all the affected areas evenly. You can increase the flow of the lotion by pressing the pad against your skin. Do not squeeze the bottle.
- Once you have applied Zineryt lotion, replace the cap, ensuring it is firmly affixed to the bottle.
You must complete your course of Zineryt. Stopping your treatment early may cause your infection to come back.
If you are unsure on how to use Zineryt, consult the patient information leaflet enclosed with your medicine. If you still aren't sure, ask your doctor or a pharmacist.
Avoid getting Zineryt solution in the eyes, nose and mouth. If you do accidentally get Zineryt in your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse the area with cold water for a few minutes.
Let the Zineryt lotion dry before applying make-up, moisturisers or other skincare products, including other topical treatments.
What should I do if I forget to apply Zineryt lotion when I should?
If you forget to apply Zineryt lotion when you should, use it as soon as you remember.
Do not apply more Zineryt lotion to make up for the dose you missed. Leave 3 hours before you use it again.
Forgetting to use Zineryt can slow down the healing process.
What should I do if I apply too much Zineryt lotion?
If you accidentally apply too much Zineryt lotion, wipe the excess away with a tissue.
