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 chemical complex 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 available to buy online from Prescription Doctor's online pharmacy. Simply fill out our online medical form for our doctor to review. If your order is approved before 3pm, a prescription for Zineryt will be issued for our UK based pharmacy to fulfil.
Our GPhC registered pharmacy will dispatch your item to your preferred address the same day for a next-day delivery. We ship all items in discreet packaging to ensure patient confidentiality.
Zineryt is a prescription-only medicine and is not available to buy over the counter.
There are numerous factors which can influence acne, with hormones being a major contributor. During puberty, when hormones like testosterone and progesterone begin to rise, acne may start to occur.
Some women may experience acne before their period or during the first few months of pregnancy, when progesterone levels are at their highest. Though the exact mechanism of how progesterone causes acne is not known, it is believed that high progestogen levels influence acne.
Aside from hormonal changes, acne can also simply be hereditary. In general, the common risk factors for the development of acne include:
If you suspect that your acne is a side effect of a medication you are currently taking, speak to your doctor. You should not stop taking a medicine your doctor has prescribed, without first consulting your doctor.
Acne can have an affect on your mental health. If your acne is causing you distress, speak to your doctor.
Your doctor can discuss with you about the most suitable course of treatment for you, including over-the-counter medicines or prescription acne creams. They may also be able to help you identify factors which might be worsening your symptoms, such as cosmetic products or medicines.
Acne starts to develop when a pore becomes clogged. This blockage prevents sebum from escaping.
Sebum is an oily substance which forms a protective barrier on the skin's surface. It is secreted from sebaceous glands, which lie just below the surface of the skin.
If a pore becomes blocked, the sebum has nowhere to go, so it builds up below the epidermis.
Bacteria, called Propionibacterium acnes, feed on this build-up of sebum and thrive. These bacteria excrete chemicals which irritate the surrounding tissues and cause inflammation.
Combined with the surplus of sebum, the inflammation causes red, swollen bumps to form on the skin. These can be painful, itchy or dry.
In most cases, these spots are small and go away on their own within a week or so. But for some people, acne can be a severe and distressing condition which affects them both physically and mentally.
Moderate to severe acne is often characterised by a large amount of blackheads, whiteheads, nodules and cysts. It is often diagnosed based on the clinical image (how the condition looks) by a doctor.
It is important to speak to your doctor about your condition, especially if it is causing you distress. Your doctor will be able to discuss possible treatment options with you, such as over-the-counter or prescribed medicines.
It's important not to pick, squeeze or scratch your acne. Doing so can create an open wound which is more susceptible to infection. Aside from infection, scarring can occur from picking or squeezing spots.
Zineryt contains two key ingredients - an antibiotic called erythromycin and zinc.
Erythromycin kills the bacteria associated with 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 dressings for wounds.
Together, the two key ingredients of Zineryt help to significantly reduce acne, bringing relief from this debilitating condition.
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.
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, using the following steps:
Apply the solution twice daily. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose and mouth.
If you apply too much Zineryt, simply wipe it off with a tissue.
Let the Zineryt lotion dry before applying make-up, moisturisers or other skincare products, including other topical treatments.
If no improvement is seen within 8 weeks, or if acne worsens, stop using Zineryt and speak to your doctor.
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.
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. Consult your doctor before restarting treatment.
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.
If you accidentally apply too much Zineryt lotion, wipe the excess away with a tissue.
