BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE is a dermatological antiseptic medication, primarily used to treat and prevent diaper rash and other minor skin irritations like burns, cuts, and scrapes. BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE promotes the healing of chapped skin and diaper rash. Diaper rash is an inflammatory reaction, which is localized to skin areas usually covered by the diaper.
BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE contains Benzalkonium chloride and Zinc oxide. Benzalkonium chloride is used as an antiseptic, disinfectant, and antimicrobial preservative. It has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Benzalkonium chloride prevents skin infections and is used to clean wounds. Zinc oxide is a mild antiseptic and astringent (cleanses skin and tightens pores). It is a mineral that treats diaper rash, minor burns, severely chapped skin, and other minor skin irritations. It works by forming a barrier on the skin to protect it from moisture and irritants. It is used as a protective coating for mild skin irritations and abrasions. BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE works by inhibiting the growth of infection-causing microbes.
BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE is for external use only. BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE has common side effects as every medicine does. These include local itchiness, redness, and irritation at the application site. These side effects gradually resolve during the treatment and do not require medical attention. However, if you notice any allergic reactions and skin rash, please consult your doctor.
Let your doctor know if you are allergic to Benzalkonium chloride or Zinc oxide. Let your doctor know if you have a history of liver, kidney diseases, and skin infections before using BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE+ZINC OXIDE. Diaper rash creams sometimes may contain additional preservatives that may make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Please check the label for such warnings and ask your doctor to suggest you any precautions.

Diaper rash: It is an inflammatory reaction localized to skin areas usually covered by the diaper. It is seen as a patchwork of bright red skin on your baby's bottom. Diaper rashes occur equally with cloth diapers and disposable diapers.
Skin infection: A skin infection can occur when the skin is broken, cut or wounded. This skin infection allows the pathogenic microorganisms to enter and invade the tissues surrounding the wound. Infection of the wound can trigger the body's immune response, causing inflammation and tissue damage and eventually slowing down the healing process.
