Uses of Ringzolin Lotion

  • Hair loss
  • Dandruff
  • Scalp conditions
  • Acne
  • Blackheads
  • Whiteheads
  • Pigmentation
  • Rough skin

Benefits of Ringzolin Lotion

In Hair loss
Ringzolin slows hair loss and encourages regrowth by acting on the hair follicles. Results take months of regular use and continue only while it is used.
In Dandruff
Ringzolin controls the flaking and itching of dandruff by reducing the yeast and inflammation on the scalp.
In Scalp conditions
Ringzolin treats inflammation, scaling or infection of the scalp, relieving itching and helping the scalp return to normal.
In Acne
Ringzolin unblocks pores, reduces the bacteria and inflammation behind spots and helps prevent new ones forming. Improvement is gradual over several weeks.
In Blackheads and whiteheads
Ringzolin clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
In Pigmentation
Ringzolin lightens dark marks left behind by spots, sun exposure or hormonal changes, evening out the skin tone over weeks of regular use.
In Rough skin
Ringzolin smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.

How Ringzolin Lotion works

This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Coal Tar and Salicylic Acid. Coal Tar acts on the scalp and hair follicles to slow hair loss and control flaking. Salicylic Acid unblocks the pores and speeds up the turnover of skin cells, so fewer spots form.

How to take Ringzolin Lotion

Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a fall in blood pressure and a racing heart when far too much is applied to the skin. It can cause severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Ringzolin Lotion

Most side effects of Ringzolin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Scalp irritation
  • Itching
  • Dryness
  • Increased shedding in the first weeks
  • Unwanted hair growth
  • Peeling
  • Redness
  • Burning or stinging
  • Increased sensitivity to sunlight

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

Topical minoxidil causes a burst of shedding in the first two to eight weeks. This is the old hair making way for new — it is expected, not a failure. Results take three to six months, and stop when you stop. This is a continuing treatment, not a cure. Finasteride must not be handled or taken by anyone who is pregnant or could become pregnant — it causes birth defects. Do not let a pregnant person handle broken or crushed tablets. Apply topical treatments to a dry scalp, not to hair, and wash your hands afterwards. Tell your doctor about any chest pain, dizziness, rapid heartbeat or sudden weight gain with minoxidil. Acne often looks worse for the first two to four weeks before it improves. This is expected — do not stop. Use sunscreen every day. These medicines make the skin burn much more easily. Oral isotretinoin must never be taken in pregnancy — it causes severe birth defects. Reliable contraception and the pregnancy tests your dermatologist requires are essential before, during and after the course. Start with alternate nights and build up, and do not use more than a pea-sized amount for the whole face. Do not combine several strong acne actives at once without advice — the irritation compounds.

Do not take Ringzolin if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for use on inflamed, broken or sunburnt scalp. Oral retinoids are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy and in anyone who might become pregnant without a pregnancy prevention programme. Topical retinoids are avoided in pregnancy.

Interactions with other medicines

Avoid applying other scalp products at the same time of day unless advised. Do not combine with other peeling agents or with waxing and harsh scrubs. Oral retinoids must not be combined with tetracycline antibiotics.

How to store Ringzolin Lotion

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.

Quick tips for Ringzolin Lotion

  • Be consistent.
  • Irregular use gives no result.
  • Have persistent or patchy hair loss assessed; thyroid disease, iron deficiency and other causes are treatable.
  • Apply retinoids at night to clean, dry skin, and moisturise afterwards.
  • Give it at least eight to twelve weeks before judging whether it works.
  • Do not pick or squeeze spots.
  • That is what leaves scars.
