In a study of explosive potential of 20 pharmaceutical products, zinc bacitracin was identified as unusual, in that though not normally explosive, when it does explode it produces relatively high pressures. 

A number of zinc compounds with organic constituents (e.g., zinc salts of organic acids) have therapeutic uses. These include antidandruff zinc pyridinethione, antifungal zinc undecylenate used to treat athlete s foot, zinc stearate and palmitate (zinc soap), and antibacterial zinc bacitracin. Zinc naphthenate is used as a low-toxicity wood preservative, and zinc phenolsulfonate has insecticidal properties and was once used as an intestinal antiseptic. The inhalation of zinc soaps by infants has been known to cause acute fatal pneumonitis characterized by lung lesions similar to, but more serious than, those caused by talc. Zinc pyridine thione (zinc 2-pyridinethiol-l-oxide) has been shown to cause retinal detachment and blindness in dogs this is an apparently species-specific effect because laboratory tests at the same and even much higher dosages in monkeys and rodents do not show the same effect.

In the EU, the 1999 ban on the use of AMDs as growth promoters included avoparcin, ardacin, zinc bacitracin, spiramycin, tylosin, virginamycin, carbadox, and olaquindox. Also in the EU, avilamycin, flavomycin, salinomycin, and monensin were phased out in 2006.
