Composition

Elemental Zinc (20 Mg)

Zn20 Oral Solution is primarily used to manage zinc deficiency in children, a condition that can lead to impaired growth and weakened immunity. This Oral Solution is a part of the class of medicines known as nutritional supplements.

In addition to managing zinc deficiency, it also helps in reducing the risk of infections like diarrhea which are common in children with low zinc levels. It's especially useful for children who are at high-risk of zinc deficiency, such as those suffering from acute infective or persistent diarrhea.

You should give this medicine to your child as directed by your doctor. Be sure to inform the doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications your child might have before starting the medicine. Also, remember to report any side effects immediately to the doctor. It's important that you continue giving the Oral Solution for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

How Zn20 Shahi Gulab Flavour Solution 100ml Works?

Zn20 Oral Solution contains Zinc (20 mg), which acts on your child's body in several ways:

Water and Electrolyte Absorption: This medicine improves the absorption of water and electrolytes in your child's intestines. This reduces stool volume and the duration of diarrhea.
Enhances Immunity: Zinc increases circulating T-lymphocytes (a kind of white blood cell) and enhances their ability to fight infections.
Regenerates Intestinal Lining: Zinc aids in the regeneration and repair of your child's intestinal lining, which can get damaged during infections.
Modulating Reactive Free Radicals: Zinc controls harmful reactive free radicals released from immune cells.
Increases Complement Proteins: These proteins help fight infections. Zinc increases their levels in your child's blood.

Dosage of Zn20 Shahi Gulab Flavour Solution 100ml

Daily Dose

The daily dose of Zn20 Oral Solution should be given as prescribed by your doctor, who'll determine the correct dosage for your child. This will depend on factors such as your child's age, weight, and condition. Do not change the dosage without consulting your child's doctor.

Over Dose

If your child accidentally takes more than the prescribed dose of Zn20 Oral Solution, they might experience symptoms like nausea, abdominal pain or headaches. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to give your child a dose of Zn20 Oral Solution, give it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and resume the regular schedule. Never increase the dosage without consulting with your child's doctor.

Store Zn20 Oral Solution in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
Keep it safe from direct sunlight and moisture.
Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.
Always keep the Oral Solution out of your child's reach.

Ensuring your child consumes foods rich in zinc can help manage and prevent zinc deficiency. Whole grains, nuts, and dairy products are good sources.
If your child suffers from diarrhea, keep them hydrated. Provide plenty of fluids such as water, soup, or oral rehydration solutions. This helps replace lost electrolytes and keeps their body functioning properly.
