Numark Calamine (Zinc Oxide Bp, Calamine Bp)

Zinc oxide acts as an astringent that creates a thin, protective film on the skin’s surface. This film limits moisture loss, reduces inflammation, and has mild antimicrobial properties. By stabilising the epidermal barrier, zinc oxide helps diminish the release of inflammatory mediators that trigger itching and irritation.

The amount of Numark Calamine applied is set by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the severity of the skin condition, the patient’s age, and the size of the affected area. Users should follow the specific instructions provided by their clinician or the product label.

Safety data for Numark Calamine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. While topical use is generally considered low risk, clinicians usually advise pregnant or nursing individuals to consult their healthcare provider before starting any new skin product.

To order, visit the product page on gnhindia.com, enter the required quantity, and submit the enquiry form. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements), and necessary import documentation.

Numark Calamine combines zinc oxide and calamine in a single formulation, offering both astringent and cooling effects. Compared with plain calamine lotions, the added zinc oxide provides stronger anti‑inflammatory and barrier‑forming properties, which can enhance relief for irritated or mildly burned skin.

Store the product at room temperature below 25 °C, in its original container, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keeping the tube tightly closed helps maintain product stability and prevents contamination.

Clean and gently pat the affected skin dry. Apply a thin layer of Numark Calamine to the area and spread evenly. Re‑apply as needed, typically every few hours, but avoid excessive layering or covering with occlusive dressings unless directed by a clinician.

The most serious risks include allergic contact dermatitis, which may present as a rash, swelling, or blistering, and rare systemic toxicity from excessive zinc absorption. If any severe skin reaction or systemic symptoms develop, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to zinc oxide, calamine, or any other ingredient in the formulation should avoid using the product. It should also not be applied to large open wounds, deep burns, or severely compromised skin without medical supervision.
