• Treatment of Acne

Zinderm BN Gel is a combination of two medicines: Nadifloxacin and Benzoyl Peroxide which treat pimples (acne). Nadifloxacin is an antibiotic. It kills bacteria by preventing them from reproducing and repairing themselves. Benzoyl Peroxide is a keratolytic medicine which penetrates into the skin and kills acne-causing bacteria. It additionally reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes the skin and helps keep your pores open.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
