Zinc S Inj.

Description

The Zinc Sulfate Injection is designed to provide zinc, an essential trace element, to patients who require parenteral nutrition. It is suitable for both adults and children, and is indicated when conventional methods of oral or enteral nutrition are not viable, sufficient or are contraindicated. This product is not intended for direct intravenous infusion, but must be mixed as part of a pharmacy bulk package for use in nutritional mixtures. Zinc plays a fundamental role in body growth and in the maintenance of good health, and this injectable form ensures that patients with special nutritional needs receive adequate levels of zinc. For those under Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN), the standard dose of zinc ranges from 2.5 to 4 mg per day, with adjustments according to specific conditions such as acute catabolic states or significant fluid losses through the small intestine.
