Indications
Zis-DS is indicated in zinc
deficiency and/or zinc losing conditions. Zis-DS deficiency can occur as a
result of inadequate diet or malabsorption. Excessive loss of zinc can occur in
trauma, burns, diarrhoea and protein losing conditions. A zinc supplement is
given until clinical improvement occurs but it may need to be continued in
severe malabsorption, metabolic disease or in zinc losing states.

Pharmacology
Zinc sulphate monohydrate is an
essential trace element and is involved in a number of body enzyme systems. The
body needs zinc for normal growth and health. Zinc is also vital for sexual
maturation and reproduction, dark vision adaptation, olfactory and gustatory
activity, insulin storage & release and for a variety of host immune
defenses. Zinc deficiency may lead to impaired immune function, delayed wound
healing, a decrease in sense of taste and smell, a reduced ability to fight
infections, poor night vision, increased risk of abortion, alopecia, mental
lethargy, skin changes and poor development of reproductive organs.
