Baby Zinc 20 mg is indicated in zinc deficiency and/or zinc-losing conditions. Zinc deficiency can occur as a result of inadequate diet or malabsorption. Excessive loss of zinc can occur in trauma, burns, diarrhea, and protein-losing conditions. A zinc supplement is given until clinical improvement occurs, but it may need to be continued in severe malabsorption, metabolic disease, or in zinc-losing states.
Zinc sulfate monohydrate is an essential trace element and is involved in several body enzyme systems. The body needs zinc for normal growth and health. Zinc is also vital for sexual maturation and reproduction, dark vision adaptation, olfactory and gustatory activity, insulin storage & release, and a variety of host immune defenses. Zinc deficiency may lead to impaired immune function, delayed wound healing, a decrease in sense of taste and smell, a reduced ability to fight infections, poor night vision, increased risk of abortion, alopecia, mental lethargy, skin changes, and poor development of reproductive organs.
Zinc may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, heartburn, and gastritis.
This drug is most effective if taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. However, if it causes stomach upset, it may be taken with a meal.
Concomitant intake of tetracycline and zinc may decrease the absorption of both the tetracycline and zinc. Similarly, concomitant administration of zinc and quinolone drugs may also decrease the absorption of both. Concomitant intake of penicillamine and zinc may decrease the absorption of zinc.
It is contraindicated in those who are hypersensitive to any component of the ingredient of this preparation.
The safety of this product in human pregnancy has not been established. Zinc crosses the placenta and is present in breast milk.
In acute renal failure, zinc accumulation may occur in the body; so dose adjustment is needed.
