What Experts Say

Zinc Sulphate is an essential trace mineral that supports over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. Doctors often prescribe it for children who are not growing well or who catch infections frequently. In Pakistan, zinc deficiency is common due to diets low in animal protein and high in phytate rich cereals, which reduce zinc absorption.

Pediatricians recommend zinc supplementation alongside oral rehydration therapy during acute diarrhea, since it shortens the duration of illness and lowers the risk of future episodes. It also plays a key role in wound healing, as zinc supports collagen formation and new tissue growth.

Adults with poor diet, chronic illness or malabsorption conditions may also need zinc supplementation. Experts advise taking Osiris Syrup with food to reduce stomach upset and avoiding it alongside calcium or iron supplements, since these minerals compete for absorption in the gut.
