Product introduction

Ozx Lotion is an antimicrobial medicine. It is used for topical treatment of superficial skin infections and acne. It inhibits the infection-causing bacteria and prevents their growth and further spread of the infection.

Use Ozx Lotion in the dose and duration as prescribed by the doctor. Read the package insert thoroughly before using the medicine. Apply an appropriate amount of the medicine to the affected area once daily or as directed by your doctor. For facial acne, apply the medicine to the affected area after washing the face. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Continue applying the medicine for as long as the doctor has prescribed.

Ozx Lotion is generally safe with little or no side effects. However, it may cause itching, dry skin, and irritation immediately after application. If any of these symptoms occur, consult with your doctor.

Do not use Ozx Lotion if you have a known history of allergic reaction to any of the components present in this medicine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should inform their doctors before taking this medicine, to make sure it is safe for them. Let your doctor also know if you are taking or applying any other medicinal products for treating the same condition.


Uses of Ozx Lotion

Benefits of Ozx Lotion

In Treatment of Superficial Skin infections

Ozx 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

Ozx 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.

In Treatment of Impetigo

Ozx Lotion is an antibiotic medicine used to treat a skin infection called impetigo (red sores) in adults and children 2 months of age and older. Apply 2-3 times a day to get relief from itching, swelling, and redness caused by the infection. You might see a change in your skin appearance in a week if used as prescribed by your doctor. Results might vary from person to person depending on your skin condition. Make sure you complete the full course of treatment to ensure that the infection is completely cured and prevent it from returning.
