How Does it Work?
To answer this question, we must ask how calamine lotion, the medical industry's most popular anti-pruritic, reduces itching. Calamine lotion, used since antiquity (Egyptian development), is zinc-based. Centuries ago, natural mineral deposits containing zinc carbonate were used for the zinc source. Today, a variety of zinc salts (zinc acetate, etc.) are used to manufacture calamine lotion. The zinc in calamine lotion offers modest bioavailability. The zinc in Zn7 Derm, complexed with L-lysine and taurine, is not only stabilized at a neutral pH (the zone of intracellular 6.8 – 7.2pH), but is carried across cell membranes at much higher levels to deliver greater anti-pruritic benefits deep within the skin.
Zn7 Derm is applied during:
Dermatology cases where there is a need to reduce steroid and/or antibiotic demand by using a natural anti-pruritic, skin care topical.
Dermatology cases that are slow to respond with hair re-growth.
Post-surgery cases where a topical is beneficial to reduce the surgery site irritation and itch.
Cases to help relieve discomfort from thermal, chemical and radiological burns.
INDICATIONS:
A protective counterirritant topical to aid in the management of superficial wounds, abrasions or raw skin of dogs or cats. Zn7™ Derm is a natural neutralized zinc topical that provides relief from itching and drying of raw skin conditions. Can be used as an adjunct to antibiotic or steroid therapy.
DIRECTIONS:
Thoroughly clean and dry the skin to be treated. Using a clean finger or swab applicator, apply a thin layer over areas twice daily. Areas may be bandaged or exposed. Please consult your veterinarian for additional advice or clinical evaluation.
INGREDIENTS:
Deionized Water, Glycerin, Carboxymethylcellulose, Zinc Gluconate, L-lysine, Taurine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben.
PRECAUTIONS: If no improvement is observed within 7 days of treatment, consult your veterinarian.
