Pediatricians in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Rawalpindi often add Zincday Syrup to oral rehydration therapy for children with acute diarrhea.
Zinc sulfate replenishes zinc lost during loose motions and supports the gut lining and immune cells that fight infection.
Doctors usually pair it with ORS for ten to fourteen days. Long term high doses without medical advice can lower copper levels in the body.

Drug Interactions
- Tetracycline Antibiotics: Zinc can bind to tetracyclines in the gut and reduce their absorption, so separate dosing by two hours.
- Quinolone Antibiotics: Similar binding can lower the effectiveness of drugs like ciprofloxacin if taken together.
- Copper Supplements: Long term zinc use can lower copper absorption, so monitor copper levels with extended use.
- Iron Supplements: High dose zinc may reduce iron absorption when taken at the same time.
Risks and warnings
- Excess Dosing: Taking more than the advised dose for long periods can interfere with copper and iron absorption.
- Nausea Risk: Giving zinc on an empty stomach can cause nausea or stomach upset in some children.
- Underlying Kidney Disease: People with kidney problems should use zinc supplements only under medical supervision.
