It is a nutritional supplement, not an antibiotic or a treatment for bacterial infections.

How to Use

Chew the tablet completely and take it according to the product label or your doctor's recommendation. It can generally be taken with or without food; taking it after food may reduce stomach irritation.

Zinc can interfere with the absorption of some medicines, including certain antibiotics. Your doctor or pharmacist may recommend separating the doses.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects include:

- Nausea
- Stomach upset
- Diarrhoea
- Abdominal discomfort
- Metallic taste

Very high or prolonged doses may cause more serious problems, including kidney stones from excessive vitamin C or copper deficiency from excessive zinc.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Vitamin C and zinc are nutrients required during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but high-dose supplementation should be avoided unless recommended by a healthcare professional.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Important Safety Information
