Lassar's

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
