Tsindol: instructions for use for newborns and infants, reviews

The child’s body is not fully formed and is unstable against the onslaught of various diseases.

The immune system is not able to fight back in infancy. That is why it is important to provide children under 1 year of age with optimal and comfortable living conditions.

Mothers need to ventilate the room every day, not wrap the baby too much when walking, breastfeed if possible or high-quality nutritional formulas, and give the baby a good night's sleep.

Infants up to one year old are under the patronage of the treating pediatrician, since illnesses simply plague children’s fragile bodies.

The appearance of pimples and unpleasant rashes on the face is not uncommon and can be caused by a number of reasons. Why acne appears, how to deal with it and what is good about Tsindol, we will consider in more detail in this article.

Reviews

Veronica, 28 years old. Tsindol was prescribed to us by our pediatrician for the treatment of chickenpox. He recommended not using brilliant green as it could leave scars. The ulcers on my son's skin healed very quickly. Among other advantages of the drug, I will note the low price. Tsindol is sold in any pharmacy and is always in stock. Its composition quickly and effectively eliminates inflammation. The effect can be seen in just a few hours.

Varvara, 19 years old My Alyonochka, from regularly putting on diapers, began to show the first signs of dermatitis. A friend recommended Tsindol. It does not sting the skin when applied, so my daughter behaved quite calmly. At first I applied the composition twice a day. However, no effect was found. After consulting a dermatologist, I was told that Tsindol needs to be smeared every time I change a diaper. A two-week course of treatment according to this regimen allowed us to obtain the expected effect. I will recommend the drug to my familiar mothers too.

Therapeutic effect, method of influence on the body

The main effect on the body is due to zinc oxide. It is the one that has an astringent, antiseptic and drying effect. In addition, this element helps the regeneration processes of the skin (the substance is similar to the human epidermis).

Most of the biological molecules that have a positive effect on the affected areas are protein structures. They form a kind of protective layer that creates a specific environment inside the infected tissue. The wounded surface is separated from the infected one and, thanks to the “protein barrier,” has the opportunity to recover and begin to function normally.

"Tsindol" has a softening and moisturizing effect.

Another feature of the drug is its softening and moisturizing effect. The skin is very sensitive to the external environment and a variety of infectious pathogens. As a result, the skin dries out, loses moisture, many functional features and normal appearance. The medicine takes care not only of skin health, but also of its aesthetic condition.

Price and analogues

Tsindol is an inexpensive and effective remedy. It costs only 80-100 rubles in the pharmacy in the form of a suspension or ointment. The price depends on the volume of the bottle.

The drug has no analogues, although there are similar compositions and effects: zinc paste, zinc oxide, Diaderm ointment, zinc ointment, Elokom, Bepanten, Panthenol D, Kremgen, Ugrin, Desitin, Psoriderm, Advantan.

Tsindol

Tsindol is a domestic dermatoprotective drug based on zinc oxide for external use, which has a drying, disinfecting, adsorbing and astringent effect. Prevents the release of exudate from blood vessels into the extracellular space, which helps reduce inflammation and eliminate skin irritation. Release form: suspension. Effective for weeping rashes, dermatological allergic reactions, various inflammatory skin lesions. It is easy to use, has a favorable safety profile and is suitable for use in pediatric practice, incl. in infants. It has proven itself well against herpes simplex virus infections, prickly heat in infants, streptococcal pyoderma, burns, bedsores, superficial wounds, acne. The drug disinfects, dries the affected area of the skin, and exhibits an adsorbing and astringent effect. Tsindol forms a protective film on the surface of the skin, preventing the penetration of bacteria and viruses and preventing an increase in the inflammatory focus. Using the drug as an evening mask allows women to get rid of cosmetic problems. The suspension is applied with a cotton pad, and if necessary, a targeted effect on small pimples - with a cotton swab. After drying, the suspension leaves a thin white film on the skin, which is subsequently easily removed with water.

Since the active component of the drug is not absorbed into the systemic bloodstream, only local adverse reactions are possible when using it - allergies, itching, hyperemia. When you stop using it, all these effects disappear very quickly. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are not contraindications to the use of Tsindol, because The drug does not contain potent components such as antibiotics and steroid hormones. The only contraindication to its use is hypersensitivity to zinc oxide or any auxiliary component of the drug (medicinal talc, starch, ethyl alcohol, glycerin). It is impossible to overdose on Tsindol. The drug is intended for external and local use. The specific amount of suspension intended for a single application, as well as the duration of use of the drug, are determined by the purpose of its use and the clinical situation. In terms of the speed of achieving the effect, Tsindol is somewhat inferior to the similar foreign drug Zinerit from, however, none of these drugs has advantages in terms of weakening subjective symptoms and tolerability of treatment. At the same time, compliance (adherence) to treatment with Zinerit is significantly lower due to its high cost in comparison with Tsindol.
