Uses & Benefits
Treatment and prevention of zinc deficiency; supportive therapy in diarrhea (especially pediatric), malnutrition, poor appetite, impaired immunity, delayed wound healing
How It Works
Zinc is an essential trace element required for multiple enzymes and cellular functions. Supplementation corrects zinc deficiency and supports immune function, intestinal mucosal repair, growth and wound healing.
Directions for Use
Take by mouth as directed by physician. Commonly 1 tablet once daily or as prescribed; preferably after food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; avoid taking at the same time as iron/calcium supplements or certain antibiotics—keep a 2–3 hour gap.
Use with caution in patients with kidney disease. Long-term/high-dose zinc may cause copper deficiency and anemia—use only as advised. If symptoms persist or severe GI irritation occurs, consult a doctor. Do not exceed recommended dose, especially in children.
Drug Interactions
Tetracyclines (e.g., doxycycline), quinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin/levofloxacin), penicillamine, iron salts, calcium supplements, magnesium/antacids, copper supplements (zinc may reduce copper absorption)
