Zinc is an important mineral that is essential for human health. It plays a key role in the immune system, wound healing and cell growth. Zinc is also widely used to prevent and treat colds because it helps strengthen the immune system. In Hong Kong, zinc supplements are usually sold in oral form and can be purchased at pharmacies or supermarkets. Please consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplement to ensure safety and appropriate dosage. Zinc supplements may interact with certain medications, so it is important to seek professional advice. Excessive intake of zinc may cause adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Please follow the recommended dosage and be careful to store supplements out of the reach of children. If you have any discomfort or questions, seek medical assistance immediately.
Directions for use: Please take this medication after a meal to ensure optimal absorption. While taking this product, avoid foods or supplements containing calcium, magnesium, or iron, as these may interfere with drug absorption. Also, avoid participating in activities that require a high level of alertness, such as driving a vehicle or operating machinery.
Dosing Guidelines: The starting dose for adult patients is 30 mg once daily. Depending on the severity of the condition and physician recommendation, the dose may be adjusted to 60 mg daily or higher. The dosage for pediatric patients is determined based on age and weight. Please ask your physician to guide the use according to the specific situation. Please be careful not to adjust the dosage on your own and use the medicine strictly as directed by your doctor.
ZINC is a common nutritional supplement, but long-term or excessive use may cause side effects. Common side effects include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In some cases, excessive amounts of zinc supplements can lead to zinc toxicity, which manifests as headaches, fatigue, changes in taste, and a compromised immune system. If any discomfort or abnormal symptoms occur, you should stop using ZINC immediately and consult your doctor. Remember to follow the recommended dosage and frequency to avoid possible side effects.
Please note that the following are contraindications when using zinc supplements:
1. Zinc supplements may interact with certain antibiotics (such as tetracyclines) or tetracyclines, rifampicin (Levaquin), chloroquine (Chloroquine) and other drugs, so you should avoid taking zinc supplements at the same time when taking these drugs agent.
2. Avoid using large amounts of zinc supplements for a long time, because excessive zinc may cause vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue and other adverse reactions.
3. Pregnant and lactating women should use zinc supplements with caution and under the guidance of a physician to avoid adverse effects on the fetus or infant.
4. People with zinc allergy or allergic reaction should avoid using zinc supplements to avoid triggering allergic reactions.
5. Patients with chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, etc.) should consult a doctor before using zinc supplements to ensure safety.
In summary, product labels should be read carefully before using zinc supplements and used under the advice of a physician or medical professional to ensure safe and effective use of the medication.

Extra caution is needed when using medications containing zinc during pregnancy. Zinc is an important mineral, but excessive intake during pregnancy can be harmful to the fetus. Therefore, excessive use of zinc-containing supplements or medications should be avoided during pregnancy.
If you need to use zinc-containing medicines, be sure to use them under the guidance of a doctor and make sure the dosage is appropriate. During pregnancy, medicines containing zinc should be used only if your doctor deems them absolutely necessary.
If you suspect that you may be pregnant, or are already pregnant, tell your doctor as soon as possible to make sure that the medicine you are taking does not cause any harm to the fetus. Medications should be used with caution during pregnancy. Please stay in close contact and follow your doctor's advice. I wish you and your baby healthy growth!
