Clindamycin phosphate is an antibiotic that helps to kill the bacteria associated with acne, while tretinoin is a retinoid that helps to regulate the growth of skin cells and reduce inflammation. The combination of these two ingredients in Ziana provides a dual approach to treating acne by targeting both the bacterial infection and the underlying causes of acne.

Ziana is available in the form of a topical gel that is applied directly to the affected areas of the skin.

How to use

To use Ziana effectively, follow these general instructions:

  1. Cleanse the skin: Before applying Ziana, wash your face gently with a mild cleanser and pat it dry. Ensure that your skin is clean and free from makeup, oils, or other topical products.
  2. Apply a thin layer: Take a pea-sized amount of gel on your fingertip and apply a thin layer to the affected areas of your skin. It is typically applied once daily in the evening.
  3. Avoid sensitive areas: Avoid applying Ziana to sensitive areas such as the eyes, lips, nostrils, or open wounds. Be cautious not to get the gel into your eyes, mouth, or nose. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
  4. Wash your hands: After applying remedy, wash your hands thoroughly to remove any residual gel and prevent it from spreading to unintended areas.
  5. Allow absorption: Allow the gel to fully absorb into your skin. It is usually recommended to wait for at least 15 minutes before applying any other skincare products or cosmetics.
  6. Be consistent: Consistency is key when using Ziana. Make sure to use it regularly as prescribed, even if you don't see immediate results. It may take several weeks to notice an improvement in your acne symptoms.
  7. Avoid excessive sun exposure: Medicine can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Protect your skin by wearing sunscreen with a high SPF, using protective clothing, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds.

Dosage

The dosage of Ziana will depend on various factors, including the severity of your acne, your skin's response to the medication. It is important to follow their specific instructions. Here are some general guidelines for the dosage:

  1. Apply a pea-sized amount: Typically, a pea-sized amount of gel is sufficient to cover the entire face.
  2. Once daily application: Medicine is usually applied once daily in the evening.
  3. Duration of use: The duration of Ziana treatment can vary. It is important to use Ziana consistently for the recommended period, even if you start to see improvement before that time.
  4. Avoid excessive use: Using more than the recommended amount of Ziana or applying it more frequently will not lead to faster results. It may instead increase the risk of side effects or skin irritation.

Side effects

Here are some common side effects associated with Ziana:

  1. Skin irritation: You may experience mild to moderate skin irritation, including redness, dryness, itching, or a burning sensation at the application site. This is a common side effect of topical medications and usually subsides as your skin adjusts to the treatment.
  2. Peeling or flaking skin: Medicine may cause your skin to peel or flake, especially during the initial weeks of treatment. This is a normal reaction as the medication works to renew your skin cells.
  3. Sensitivity to sunlight: Ziana can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. You may be more prone to sunburn or skin irritation when exposed to the sun. It is important to use sun protection measures, such as wearing protective clothing and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.
  4. Temporary skin discoloration: Some individuals may experience temporary skin discoloration, such as lightening or darkening of the treated areas. This is usually a transient side effect and will resolve over time.
  5. Allergic reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions to Ziana can occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of an allergic reaction, such as severe rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
  6. Eye irritation: Avoid contact of gel with the eyes, as it may cause eye irritation. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.

Storage

To store Ziana (clindamycin phosphate and tretinoin) properly, follow these general guidelines:

  3. Close the container tightly: Ensure that the cap or lid of the gel container is tightly closed when not in use. This helps to prevent air and moisture from entering, which can compromise the quality and stability of the product.
  4. Keep out of reach of children and pets: Store Ziana in a secure location where children or pets cannot access it. Accidental ingestion or misuse of the medication can be harmful.
