Diszinc 20mg Dispersible Tablets 30's

Diszinc 20 mg Tablet is a medication prescribed for the treatment of acute and persistent diarrhea in infants and children up to 5 years of age. The recommended dosage depends on the age of the child. For children less than 6 months of age, half a tablet is taken once daily for 10-14 days. For children between 6 months and 5 years of age, one tablet is taken once daily for the same duration. The tablet or half tablet should be completely dispersed in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of clean water or breast milk and given orally to the child. It is advisable to administer the dose between meals, and if vomiting occurs within 30 minutes, a repeat dose can be given. In case of a missed dose, it can be taken as soon as possible unless there are less than 6 hours remaining until the next dose. There are some precautions to consider when using Diszinc 20 mg Tablet. It is important to avoid coadministering the medication with drugs that may inhibit zinc absorption, such as penicillamine, sodium valproate, and ethambutol. Additionally, there may be interactions with certain antibiotics. Zinc may reduce the absorption of tetracyclines (except for doxycycline) and quinolone antibiotics. It can also interfere with the absorption of cephalexin or ceftibuten. To prevent interactions, it is recommended to allow at least three hours between the administration of zinc and any of these medicines.
