Zincit 10 Effervescent Tablet Should Not Be Taken If:
You are hypersensitive (allergic) to zinc sulfate or any other excipients listed in section 6 of the package insert.
Special Precautions Before Taking Zincit 10 Effervescent Tablet:
No special precautions are required.
Taking Zincit 10 Effervescent Tablet with Other Medications:
Inform your doctor if you have taken or are taking any other medications, including over-the-counter products.
Chelating agents such as D-penicillamine, dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid (DMPS), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and meso-2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) reduce zinc absorption or increase its excretion. Concurrent intake of zinc with phosphate, zinc, copper, or calcium salts interferes with zinc absorption. Zinc interferes with copper absorption. Large doses of zinc reduce iron absorption and retention. Zinc reduces the absorption of tetracycline, ofloxacin, and other quinolones (e.g., norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin). Therefore, a minimum interval of 3 hours should be maintained between zinc and these medications.
Which Other Medications Does Zincit 10 Interact With?
Zinc reduces copper absorption.
Taking Zincit 10 Effervescent Tablet with Drinks and Food:
Foods high in phytates (cereals, legumes, nuts) inhibit zinc absorption. Coffee may also reduce zinc absorption.
