Zinc sulfate is a trace mineral supplement commonly used to treat zinc deficiency. Zinc is essential for normal functions of the body, including the immune system, wound healing, and cell growth. In Hong Kong, zinc sulfate is commonly used to treat various ailments such as colds, skin problems, and digestive problems. It can also help strengthen the immune system and prevent infections. Zinc sulfate can be taken orally or topically, depending on your symptoms. However, you should ask your doctor for advice before use to ensure safety and appropriate dosage. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal upset and nausea. If serious adverse reactions occur, seek medical attention immediately. Overall, zinc sulfate is an effective supplement to help maintain body health and function.
How to use: ZINC SULPHATE medication is usually taken orally, preferably after meals to reduce stomach discomfort. Avoid taking it with foods containing calcium, iron or antibiotics to avoid affecting absorption. You should avoid drinking coffee or tea while taking this medication as this may reduce zinc absorption.
Dosing Guidelines: Adults are generally recommended to take 50 mg to 150 mg of ZINC SULPHATE daily. The starting dose is 50 mg and can be gradually increased to 150 mg as needed and directed by the physician. The dose for children depends on age and weight and is usually lower than that for adults. The starting dose for children is 10 mg to 30 mg, which can be adjusted according to the recommendation of the physician. Always use your medicine as recommended by your doctor or pharmacist and do not adjust the dosage yourself.
