What is Zinc Oxide, Salicylic Acid?

Zinc oxide and salicylic acid, the active ingredients in Lassar's, are a dermatological preparation presented as a topical cream for skin use. It provides a protective barrier and keratolytic action to help manage mild skin irritations, acne and seborrheic dermatitis in adults. GNH USA supplies Lassar's as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Zinc Oxide, Salicylic Acid used for?

Lassar's is a topical keratolytic preparation that acts on the epidermis to treat various skin conditions.

Acne vulgaris: helps reduce lesions by promoting exfoliation and decreasing inflammation. Seborrheic dermatitis: soothes scaling and redness through barrier protection and keratolysis. Minor skin irritations: provides a protective barrier and relieves discomfort in conditions such as diaper rash or mild eczema.

What are the side effects of Zinc Oxide, Salicylic Acid?

Lassar's may cause local skin reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation or burning sensation - Dryness or peeling of the applied area - Redness or mild erythema - Itching or pruritus - Mild scaling - Temporary discoloration of the skin

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic contact dermatitis - Severe ulceration or blistering of the skin - Systemic salicylate toxicity (rare, with extensive application) - Persistent edema or swelling at the site - Secondary infection of the treated area - Anaphylactic reaction (extremely rare)

What precautions apply to Zinc Oxide, Salicylic Acid?

Before using Lassar's, consider the following safety measures.

Avoid use on open wounds or severely damaged skin: apply only to intact epidermis. Keep away from eyes, mucous membranes, and genital area: rinse thoroughly if accidental contact occurs. Discontinue use if severe irritation or allergic reaction develops: seek medical advice. Do not combine with other strong keratolytic or irritant topicals without professional guidance. Not recommended for children under 2 years of age unless directed by a healthcare professional. Store at below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Zinc Oxide, Salicylic Acid interact with?

Lassar's may interact with other topical or systemic agents; awareness of these interactions helps minimize adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other topical salicylate preparations: risk of increased local irritation. - Application over large body surface areas in patients taking systemic salicylates: potential for salicylate toxicity. - Use with potent topical corticosteroids: may mask signs of irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Combination with retinoids or benzoyl peroxide: monitor for heightened skin dryness. - Occlusive dressings over treated area: may enhance absorption and irritation. - Phototherapy or UV exposure: increase photosensitivity risk. - Use with other keratolytic agents (e.g., urea): adjust frequency to avoid excessive exfoliation.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lassar's used for?+
Lassar's is a topical dermatological preparation that combines zinc oxide and salicylic acid. It is used to manage mild skin irritations, acne vulgaris, and seborrheic dermatitis by providing a protective barrier and promoting gentle exfoliation of the outer skin layer.
How does zinc oxide work in Lassar's?+
Zinc oxide creates a physical barrier on the skin surface, reducing water loss and shielding the area from external irritants. It also possesses mild anti‑inflammatory properties that help soothe redness and irritation associated with various dermatological conditions.
How does salicylic acid work in Lassar's?+
Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent that penetrates the stratum corneum and loosens the intercellular connections between dead skin cells. This action promotes desquamation, helping to clear clogged pores and reduce hyperkeratotic scaling in acne and other skin disorders.
What is the usual dose of Lassar's?+
The appropriate amount of Lassar's is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the affected area once or twice daily, but the exact frequency and quantity should follow the prescriber's instructions.
How do I order Lassar's from GNH USA?+
To order Lassar's, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Lassar's compare with other topical acne treatments?+
Compared with benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, Lassar's offers a milder keratolytic effect combined with barrier protection from zinc oxide. This can result in fewer severe irritant reactions, making it suitable for patients with sensitive skin or those who need a gentler regimen.
How should Lassar's be stored and handled?+
Lassar's should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use and avoid exposing the product to extreme heat or freezing conditions.
How is Lassar's applied?+
Apply a thin, even layer of Lassar's to clean, dry skin in the affected area. Gently massage until the product is absorbed. Use the frequency recommended by the prescriber, usually once or twice daily, and avoid covering the area with occlusive dressings unless advised.
What are the most serious risks to watch for?+
While uncommon, serious risks include allergic contact dermatitis, severe skin ulceration, and, with extensive use, systemic salicylate toxicity. Users should discontinue the product and seek medical attention if they experience intense burning, swelling, blistering, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Who should not use Lassar's?+
Lassar's should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to zinc oxide, salicylic acid, or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated on broken or severely inflamed skin and is not recommended for children under two years of age unless directed by a qualified healthcare professional.
