Description
Zinc oxide paste Pharmacodynamics
Zinc paste – an anti-inflammatory topical agent, has adsorptive, antiseptic, astringent and drying effect. When used in children, it helps prevent diaper rash, protects against urine and other irritants and softens irritated skin. Reduces exudation and blotting, which relieves local inflammation and irritation. The symptomatic and protective effect of the drug is determined by zinc oxide. Zinc oxide combined with a petroleum jelly base forms a physical barrier, forming a protective coating on the skin that reduces the effect of irritants on the affected area and prevents rash.
