Zineryt is a lotion you can apply directly on your skin to treat acne. Zineryt contains two active ingredients: zinc and an antibiotic called erythromycin.
Zineryt contains an antibiotic which helps kill bacteria that cause acne, reduces inflammation and stops new spots from forming. In addition, the zinc helps heal skin quickly.
Zineryt will take up to three months to work and have a noticeable effect on your skin. It's important to keep using it everyday even if you don't notice an improvement overnight.
Zineryt contains an antibiotic called erythromycin. The zinc in Zineryt is not an antibiotic, but does have antibacterial properties. The combination of erythromycin and zinc in Zineryt make it an effective acne treatment.
Zineryt can be used on the face, back or chest. Your doctor may suggest you use Zineryt in other places. Always apply Zineryt as directed by your doctor and only on top of your skin.
Zineryt is suitable for the treatment of moderate acne. If you only have a few spots, blackheads or whiteheads, then you can try mild over the counter treatments from a pharmacy. If you have a lot of spots and inflammation then Zineryt can be an effective treatment. Severe acne which includes cysts and hard lumps underneath the skin, known as nodules, may need stronger treatment which can only be prescribed by a doctor.

Zineryt rarely causes an allergic reaction in people using the medication. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include a rash/hives, itching, swelling of the mouth/face/lips, and trouble breathing. Please contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of these side effects or visit your local emergency department to get immediate medical help.
Wash and pat your face dry before applying Zineryt. Unscrew the cap and hold the bottle upside down so the medicine can be absorbed onto the applicator pad. Dab the applicator pad all over the affected area of skin. This should be done twice a day for the duration of your treatment or as your doctor has prescribed.
Zineryt should be used for the length of time your doctor has prescribed. This is typically for up to three months before you notice an improvement. Stopping the treatment early may cause your acne symptoms to return.
If you forget to use Zineryt, apply it as soon as you remember in either the morning or evening. Leave at least three hours between each application of Zineryt. It's important to use Zineryt consistently to get the full benefit of the treatment.
If you use too much Zineryt, pat your face gently with a cloth or tissue to remove it. Using the applicator correctly should prevent you from using too much Zineryt.
Zineryt can cause temporary redness or a stinging sensation. If you experience any of the following, stop using Zineryt straight away and tell your doctor:
Do not use Zineryt if:
Tell your doctor if you are using any other medicines, particularly other antibiotic treatments, before using Zineryt.

You can use Zineryt while breastfeeding, but you should not apply it to the chest area and you should always speak to your doctor first before using it.
There are alternatives to help treat moderate or severe acne. These include:
Treatments that contain a combination of antibiotics, retinoids or benzoyl peroxide include Duac, Epiduo or Differin.
You may want to try home remedies to help treat acne. Ingredients that have good antibacterial properties include:
There are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of acne. These include:
You can still wear makeup while using Zineryt. Ensure that the lotion has dried before applying any cosmetics.
Adult acne is common and it is caused by hormonal changes in the body. This can include menstruation, pregnancy, menopause or hormonal imbalances.
Zineryt cannot treat existing acne scars but it can help to stop new ones from forming.
Zineryt is only available on prescription and cannot be purchased over the counter at a pharmacy.
