Pharmacokinetics The complex relationship of the components of the drug provides better penetration into the skin of active substances. Zinc is mainly associated with follicular epithelium and is not absorbed into the systemic circulation. An insignificant part of erythromycin undergoes a systemic distribution and is subsequently excreted.

Indications
