Emzor Paediatric Zinc Sulphate 20mg x 100 Tablets

Emzor Paediatric Zinc Sulphate is a specialized oral mineral supplement for infants and children. Each dispersible tablet contains 20mg of Elemental Zinc (from 54.9mg Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate). It is a critical treatment for managing acute and persistent diarrhea (stooling) in children under 5 years.

In Nigeria, doctors and pharmacists recommend using Zinc Sulphate as an adjunct to Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) to help children recover faster and prevent future episodes.

Key Benefits of Zinc for Children

• Diarrhea Management: Reduces the duration and severity of "running stomach" or stooling.
• Prevents Recurrence: Helps prevent diarrhea episodes for up to 2-3 months after treatment.
• Immune System Support: Strengthens the body's natural defenses against infections.
• Gut Health: Helps repair and maintain the intestinal lining.

How to Administer Emzor Zinc to Your Baby

These are dispersible tablets that dissolve easily in liquid:

1. Place the tablet (or half tablet if prescribed) in a small spoon.
2. Add a little clean water, breast milk, or ORS solution.
3. Let it dissolve completely—do not crush or chew.
4. Give the liquid to the child immediately.

Note: The tablets are scored, allowing them to be easily divided into two equal 10mg doses if required for younger infants.

• Full Course: Complete the full 10-14 day course even if the child feels better.
• Dosage: Consult a GoMed pharmacist or your pediatrician for the correct dose based on age and weight.
