Product introduction

Zosporin Powder is a combination medicine used in the treatment of bacterial skin infections. It works by stopping the growth of microorganisms and killing the existing ones that cause the infection.

It is advisable to take Zosporin Powder at a fixed time each day to maintain consistent levels of medicine in the blood. In case you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. Never skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. It is important not to stop taking this medicine suddenly as it may worsen your symptoms.

How to use Zosporin Powder

How Zosporin Powder works

Zosporin Powder is a combination of three antibiotics: Sulphacetamide, Neomycin and Bacitracin. Sulphacetamide stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Neomycin stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Bacitracin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, thereby killing the bacteria. Together, they treat your infection effectively.

FAQs

Q. Can I stop taking Zosporin Powder when my symptoms are relieved?

No, do not stop taking Zosporin Powder. Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Your symptoms may improve before the skin infection is completely cured.

Q. What are the precautions needed to be taken while using Zosporin Powder?

Zosporin Powder should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer than the advised periods of time. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used by the patient and never be given to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.

Q. Can I overuse Zosporin Powder?

No, do not overuse Zosporin Powder for long periods or on large areas of skin. It can result in too much medicine being absorbed into the body. This may lead to thinning or weakening of the skin and other serious side effects. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.

Keep this medicine in the packet or the container it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose of the unused medicine. Make sure it is not consumed by pets, children and other people.
