What is Zineryt Solution?

What is Zineryt Solution?

Zineryt is a topical antibiotic solution used to treat mild to moderate acne. It contains two active ingredients: erythromycin, an antibiotic that helps to reduce the bacteria responsible for acne, and zinc acetate, which reduces inflammation and helps to dry out pimples. Zineryt is typically prescribed for people suffering from inflamed spots, pustules, and pimples on the face, chest, or back. The combination of erythromycin and zinc in Zineryt helps to clear acne while minimising the appearance of redness and irritation, promoting faster healing of the skin.

How Does Zineryt Work?

Zineryt works by addressing two of the key causes of acne: bacterial growth and inflammation. Erythromycin, an antibiotic, stops the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that contributes to acne by infecting blocked pores. By reducing the bacteria in the skin, it prevents further infections and reduces the size and severity of existing acne lesions. Zinc acetate complements the antibiotic action by reducing inflammation and promoting skin healing. Zinc also has a mild drying effect, which helps reduce the oiliness of the skin, leading to fewer breakouts. Applied directly to the skin, Zineryt targets the affected areas without being absorbed into the bloodstream.

How to use Zineryt Solution

Use following the guidance of your healthcare professional or after reading the instructions:

  • Wash and dry the affected area before applying Zineryt.
  • Apply twice daily (morning and evening) using the applicator provided.
  • Tilt the bottle and press the applicator against the skin, spreading the solution over the affected area.
  • Allow the solution to dry completely before applying makeup or other skincare products.
  • Use for the full course of treatment (typically 10-12 weeks) as prescribed by your doctor, even if your skin improves sooner.
  • Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight or UV light while using Zineryt.
  • Ensure Zineryt Solution has completely dried before you use any cosmetics.
Possible side effects

Side effects include:

  • Skin irritation (redness, dryness, or peeling)
  • Burning or stinging sensation upon application
  • Temporary increase in acne at the beginning of treatment
  • Itching at the application site
  • Allergic reactions (rare)

If you experience severe or persistent side effects, discontinue use and seek medical advice. If you develop signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing, stop using Zineryt and consult a healthcare professional immediately.

Warnings and precautions
  • Do not use Zineryt if you are allergic to erythromycin, zinc, or any other ingredients in the solution.
  • Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Do not apply Zineryt to broken or damaged skin.
  • If you experience severe skin irritation, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
  • Zineryt contains alcohol, which may cause stinging or irritation on application.
  • Do not use for more than 12 weeks unless directed by your doctor, as bacteria may become resistant to the antibiotic.
