Product Description

Zinc Sulfate 20mg dispersible tablets

Zinc sulfate tablets are zinc supplements. It is used for anorexia, anemia, growth retardation, nutritional dwarf, enteric acrodermatitis, aphtha, chronic ulcer caused by zinc deficiency.
Zinc is an important component of many enzymes in the body, which can promote growth and development and improve taste, especially for the growth and development of children.


Composition: Each tablet contains: Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate equiv.alent to Zinc 20mg.
Excipients: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Low-Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose, Starch, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide
Pharmacological Properties: Zinc sulfate is a zinc salt used for the treatment of acute and persistent diarrhoea in children.

Pharmacological action: Zinc is an essential trace element which is present in a wide range of foods. It is found in all tissues.
Normal growth and tissue repair depend upon adequate zinc levels. Zinc acts as an integral part of several enzymes important to protein and carbohydrate metabolism. . Severe zinc deficiency is associated with growth retardation, primary hypogonadism, skin disease, disturbances of taste and smell, and impaired immunity, with increased susceptibility to infection.
Zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce the duration and severity of diarrhea in populations of children with a high incidence of zinc deficiency, and also to reduce the frequency of recurrences in the subsequent 2-3 months. The beneficial effects of zinc are likely associated with reconstitution of the immune response, however direct inhibitory effects of zinc on enteric pathogens have also been reported.
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Zinc is incompletely absorbed from the small bowel, with between 10 and 40% of an ingested dose absorbed. Numerous dietary components can interfere with zinc absorption, particularly phytates and fibre, which bind to zinc, resulting in poorly absorbed zinc complexes.
The absorption of zinc from Zinc Sulfate tablets was examined in 10 healthy, zinc replete, adult male volunteers (baseline mean plasma zinc level ±SD of 15.1 ±3.5 mmol/L). Absorption of zinc from 1½ Zinc Sulfate tablets (i.e. a 30 mg dose) was rapid, with a maximal increase in mean plasma zinc level (±SD) of 11.6 (±6.0) mmol/L observed within approximately 2 hours of administration.
Distribution: Approximately 60% of circulating zinc is bound to albumin and roughly 30% is bound to macroglobulin. The majority of zinc is stored in the liver and kidney, chiefly intracellularly, and bound to metalloproteins.
Elimination: In adults, it has been estimated that approximately 0.5 to 1.0 mg/day is secreted in the biliary tract and excreted in the stool, while 0.5 to 0.8 mg/day is excreted in the urine.
