Benefits of Ozefit Lotion
In Treatment of Superficial Skin infections
Ozefit Lotion is an antibiotic which works by stopping the growth of infection causing bacteria on the skin. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for survival of bacteria. It is effective in treatment of various bacterial infections and helps reduce infection-related symptoms such as redness, swelling, and discomfort, promoting healing and restoring the skin’s health. It offers a targeted and efficient approach to managing superficial skin infections and preventing their spread.
In Treatment of Acne
Ozefit Lotion is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria causing acne on your skin. It usually takes around 4 weeks to start working and several months to have full effect, so keep taking it as prescribed. Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer. It offers a long-lasting post antibiotic effect against susceptible and resistant acne. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as your skin becomes acne free.
