About Zithrotop Gel

Zithrotop Gel is an antibiotic used to treat acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition that affects almost everyone at some point in their lives. Acne occurs when the hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil.

Zithrotop Gel contains azithromycin, which prevents the synthesis of essential nutrients necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Thereby killing the acne-causing bacteria.

Zithrotop Gel is for external use only. Some people may notice dry skin, a burning sensation, peeling, itching, and redness. Most of these side effects are temporary and will go away on their own. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
