Ziox Top

Generic Name: PAPAIN/UREA/CHLOROPHYLLIN - TOPICAL
Pronounced: (pap-AYE-in/you-REE-uh/klor-oh-FIL-in)

Ziox Top Uses

This combination of drugs is used to treat skin wounds. Papain loosens dead tissue so it can be removed from the wound (called debridement), helping to clean the wound and allowing healing to occur. Urea helps the papain to work better. Chlorophyllin helps the growth of healthy skin, lessens the swelling, and reduces wound odors.

Apply this product directly to the treated wound with each dressing change, usually 1 to 2 times a day or as directed by your doctor or podiatrist. Avoid cleansing with hydrogen peroxide.

Check the label of your product for any special instructions. If you have questions about how to use your product, ask your pharmacist.
