Ziana Information

Ziana at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Ziana (clindamycin phosphate/tretinoin) is manufactured by Bausch Health in many countries worldwide, including Canada. Johnson & Johnson also manufactures the medication in many countries, including India.

The generic clindamycin phosphate/tretinoin is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Ziana is commonly available as 1%/0.025%/15 gm and 1.2%/0.025%/60 gm topical gels.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Ziana (clindamycin phosphate/tretinoin) is a prescription topical medication primarily used to treat acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older. Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition characterized by clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and in some cases, deeper, painful lesions. This condition is often triggered by hormonal changes and influenced by genetics, stress, diet, and certain medications.

Mechanism of Action:
Ziana (clindamycin phosphate/tretinoin) contains two medications – clindamycin phosphate and tretinoin. Clindamycin phosphate is a lincosamide antibiotic that inhibits the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin's surface. It is a prodrug that is converted to active clindamycin by skin enzymes, increasing its effectiveness as a topical product. Tretinoin is a retinoid that speeds up the shedding of dead skin cells, helping prevent blocked pores and promoting skin renewal. Together, they target two key factors in acne formation: bacterial growth and follicle obstruction.

Use Ziana exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the highlights of the prescribing information that accompany the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with Ziana (clindamycin phosphate/tretinoin). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary. This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice. Before starting Ziana, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects - These are common side effects of Ziana; others are possible. These effects may be temporary as your skin adjusts. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Burning or stinging;
• Dryness or flaking skin;
• Increased sensitivity to sunlight;
• Mild redness or irritation;
• Temporary worsening of acne early in treatment

Serious or rare side effects- Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Severe irritation or painful blistering;
• Severe or bloody diarrhea with abdominal cramping;
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, breathing difficulties, swelling of the face, lips, or throat;
• Signs of skin infection, such as intense redness, warmth, or pus

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Ziana, it is essential to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, as well as all medications you are currently taking, with your doctor or pharmacist.

Do not take Ziana if:
• You have a history of antibiotic-associated colitis.
• You have a history of retinoid hypersensitivity.
• You have a history of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.
• You have a known allergy to clindamycin phosphate, tretinoin, or any of the ingredients in the medication.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Ziana. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Ziana is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• A history of severe side effects to acne treatment
• Eczema
• Recent skin procedures, including laser, waxing, or chemical peels

Drug Interactions:

Before using Ziana, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the product monograph.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Ziana. Ziana may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Harsh skin treatments — Abrasive soaps, astringents, and exfoliants may worsen irritation.
• Medications that increase skin sensitivity to sunlight — Some antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline), other retinoids, or photosensitizing drugs may increase the chance of sunburn.
• Other topical acne medications — Combining with benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or other exfoliating products can increase irritation.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Ziana is not recommended during pregnancy. Retinoids like tretinoin can be absorbed by the body and are associated with a risk of congenital disabilities when used systemically. While topical tretinoin has a lower risk than oral retinoids, caution is advised. If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or become pregnant while using Ziana, inform your doctor immediately. It is unknown whether clindamycin or tretinoin from topical use enters breast milk in significant amounts. Your doctor will weigh the potential benefits and risks before recommending use. If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ziana at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Ziana more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Ziana, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
