Zinc ointment for external use 10% 25g 1 pc.

Zinc ointment is an external-use remedy that provides a binding and drying effect.

When used on children, it helps prevent the occurrence of 'diaper' rash, protects against the effects of urine and other irritating substances, and soothes irritated skin.

It reduces exudation and oozing, thereby alleviating local irritations.

The symptomatic and protective effects of the preparation are attributed to zinc oxide. Zinc oxide, in combination with a vaseline base, forms a physical barrier, creating a protective covering on the skin that reduces the impact of irritating substances on the affected area and prevents the development of rashes.

The preparation is also used as a first aid measure for minor skin injuries (minor burns, cuts, scratches, chafing).

Photocontact dermatitis.
