While some medications can be stopped after few days, some drugs need to be continued for prolonged period to get the benefit from it.This medication is used as a moisturizer to treat or prevent dry, rough, scaly, itchy skin and minor skin irritations (e.g., diaper rash, skin burns from radiation therapy). Emollients are substances that soften and moisturize the skin and decrease itching and flaking. Some products (e.g., zinc oxide, white petrolatum) are used mostly to protect the skin against irritation (e.g., from wetness).
Dry skin is caused by a loss of water in the upper layer of the skin. Emollients/moisturizers work by forming an oily layer on the top of the skin that traps water in the skin. Petrolatum, lanolin, mineral oil and dimethicone are common emollients. Humectants, including glycerin, lecithin, and propylene glycol, draw water into the outer layer of skin. Many products also have ingredients that soften the horny substance (keratin) that holds the top layer of skin cells together (e.g., urea, alpha hydroxy acids such as lactic/citric/glycolic acid, and allantoin). This helps the dead skin cells fall off, helps the skin keep in more water, and leaves the skin feeling smoother and softer.

What other drugs will affect Vitamin A (Lycra)?
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.
Some products that may interact with this vitamin include: acitretin, alitretinoin, bexarotene, cholestyramine, isotretinoin, tretinoin, other products that contain Vitamin A (Lycra) (such as multivitamins), warfarin.
Avoid taking Vitamin A (Lycra) at the same time as you take neomycin, orlistat, and mineral oil. If you take any of these medications, separate your doses from your dose of Vitamin A (Lycra) by at least 2 hours.
This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use. Share this list with your doctor and pharmacist to lessen your risk for serious medication problems.
In an application with barbiturates, primidone increases the excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.
With the simultaneous use of oral contraceptives reduces the concentration of ascorbic acid in blood plasma.
In an application of Vitamin C (Lycra) with iron preparations ascorbic acid, due to its regenerative properties, transforms ferric iron in the bivalent, which improves its absorption.
Ascorbic acid in high doses can decrease urine pH that while the application reduces the tubular reabsorption of amphetamine and tricyclic antidepressants.
With the simultaneous use of aspirin reduces the absorption of ascorbic acid by about a third.
Vitamin C (Lycra) in an application with warfarin may decrease effects of warfarin.
With the simultaneous application of ascorbic acid increases the excretion of iron in patients receiving deferoxamine. In the application of ascorbic acid at a dose of 500 mg / day possibly left ventricular dysfunction.
In an application with tetracycline is increased excretion of ascorbic acid in the urine.
There is a described case of reducing the concentration of fluphenazine in plasma in patients treated with ascorbic acid 500 mg 2 times / day.
May increase the concentration of ethinyl estradiol in the blood plasma in its simultaneous application in the oral contraceptives.

What other drugs will affect Zinc sulphate monohydrate (Lycra)?
Pyridoxine reduces the effects of levodopa (but this does not occur if a dopa decarboxylase is also given); decreases serum concentrations of phenobarbitone. Concurrent administration of drugs eg, isoniazid, penicillamine and oral contraceptives increase the requirement for pyridoxine.
Absorption of cyanocobalamin from the GIT may be reduced by neomycin, aminosalicylic acid, histamine H2-receptor antagonists and colchicine. Serum concentrations may be decreased by concurrent administration of oral contraceptives. Many of these interactions are unlikely to be of clinical significance but should be taken into account when performing assays for blood concentrations.
Parenteral chloramphenicol may attenuate the effect of vitamin B12 in anaemia.
Folate deficiency states may be produced by a number of drugs including antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, antituberculous drugs, alcohol and folic acid antagonists eg, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim and sulphonamides; folic acid may decrease serum-phenytoin concentrations.
There may be an increased risk of myopathy or rhabdomyolysis when nicotinic acid is used concurrently with statins. Nicotinamide may increase the requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycaemics.
Ascorbic acid may increase the absorption of iron-deficiency states.
Ascorbic acid is often given in addition to desferrioxamine to patients with iron overload (thalassemia) to achieve better iron excretion. However, early on in treatment when there is excess tissue iron, there is some evidence that ascorbic acid may worsen the iron toxicity, particularly to the heart. Thus, ascorbic acid should not be given for the first month after starting desferrioxamine treatment.
The absorption of Zinc sulphate monohydrate (Lycra) may be reduced by iron supplements, penicillamine, phosphorus-containing preparations and tetracyclines. Zinc sulphate monohydrate (Lycra) supplements reduce the absorption of copper, ciprofloxacin, iron, norfloxacin, penicillamine and tetracyclines.
