No specific dose adjustment typically required, but use with caution and consult a physician in severe cases due to potential zinc accumulation.

How to Take

Administer orally. Can be taken with or without food. For best absorption and to minimize gastrointestinal upset, it is often recommended to take with food.

Mechanism of Action

B-vitamins act as coenzymes in various metabolic processes, including energy production, red blood cell formation, and nervous system function. Zinc is an essential trace element vital for immune function, wound healing, DNA synthesis, cell division, and sensory functions like taste and smell. Together, they support overall cellular function and health.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Nutritional effects are gradual, building over days to weeks of consistent use.

Excretion

Water-soluble B vitamins and their metabolites are primarily excreted via the kidneys in urine. Zinc is primarily excreted via feces, with a smaller amount through urine.

Half life

Variable depending on individual vitamin (e.g., water-soluble B vitamins have shorter half-lives, excess excreted rapidly).

Absorption

Readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, though absorption rates can vary depending on individual vitamins and zinc status.

Metabolism

B vitamins are metabolized to their active coenzyme forms. Zinc is metabolized and distributed to various tissues.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to any component of the syrup
History of copper deficiency (high zinc intake can interfere with copper absorption)

Drug Interactions

Penicillamine

Zinc may decrease the absorption of penicillamine.

Iron supplements

High doses of zinc can interfere with iron absorption. Administer at different times.

Diuretics (Thiazides)

May increase urinary excretion of zinc.

Tetracycline and Quinolone antibiotics

Zinc can reduce the absorption of these antibiotics. Take zinc at least 2 hours before or 4-6 hours after these antibiotics.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place, below 30°C. Protect from light. Do not freeze.

Overdose

Acute overdose is rare but can cause gastrointestinal upset, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Chronic high intake of zinc can lead to copper deficiency and anemia. Management is symptomatic and supportive; consider gastric lavage or activated charcoal in acute severe cases.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Generally considered safe during pregnancy and lactation when taken within recommended daily allowances. However, always consult a healthcare provider before use during these periods.
