A member asked:
Would 0.25% zinc sulfate cure my trachoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I don't think so: I believe the treatment for trachoma which is an infection of the eye by chlamydia trachomatis is either Azithromycin or tetracycline eye ointments. I have not heard of zinc sulfate as a treatment.
