Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate 27.437 mg

Properties: 
Sulfozinc powder for syrup is a source of zinc which is an essential trace element and involved in a number of body enzyme systems including alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase and both DNA and RNA polymerase in addition to the importance of zinc in the formation and function of the immune system. 
Zinc deficiency can occur as a result of inadequate diet or malabsorption and excessive loss can occur in trauma, bums and protein losing conditions. 
Zinc improves absorption of water and electrolytes thus, zinc 
supplements prevent subsequent episodes of diarrhoea. WHO and UNICEF recommend daily zinc supplements for children with acute diarrhoea to curtail the severity of the episode and prevent further occurrences in the ensuing 2-3 months. 
Zinc facilitates wound healing, helps maintain normal growth rates, normal skin hydration and the sense of smell and taste.

) can occur which can be reduced by taking drug with or after food. Drug Interactions: - Zinc reduces the absorption of ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, tetracyclines, oral iron, penicillamine and trientine. - Zinc absorption is reduced by tetracyclines, calcium salts, oral iron, penicillamine and trientine. 
Warnings & Precautions: 
- Accumulation of zinc may occur in case of renal failure. - Prolonged administration may lead to copper deficiency. - Use of zinc in pregnancy and breast feeding requires benefits be weighed against possible hazards.

Epimag

Epimag For The Medical Profession Only EPIMAG® Effervescent Powder Composition: Each 5 gm sachet contains: Magnesium citrate 2.125 g Properties: Magnesium ions inhibit formation of calcium oxalate crystals by combination with exogenous dietatric oxalate thus preventing formation of renal crystalluria. The citrate ions render urine alkaline so that urates may dissolve and are easily eliminated. Also, citrate ions, by chelating calcium ions, inhibit formation of calcium oxalate. Therefore, magnesium citrate may be prescribed to prevent recurrence of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Magnesium citrate is an osmotic laxative. Pharmacokinetics: Oral magnesium salts, including citrate, are generally very slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. They are excreted rapidly in the urine (absorbed fraction) and the faeces (unabsorbed fraction). Indications: • Cases of oxaluria. • Mild laxative to relieve constipation. Dosage and Administration: The contents of o...
