View company portfolio →What Pedisafe (Zinc) is used for
Zinc is a mineral that the body needs to stay healthy. It helps the immune system fight germs, helps the body make new cells, supports growth in babies, children and teenagers, and helps wounds heal. Most people get enough from food. As a medicine, zinc is mainly given to babies and young children with diarrhoea, usually as tablets that dissolve in water (dispersible tablets), alongside oral rehydration solution (ORS). WHO and UNICEF have recommended zinc together with ORS for childhood diarrhoea since 2004.
- Diarrhoea in babies and children, both sudden watery diarrhoea and diarrhoea that goes on longer (persistent), given alongside ORS and continued feeding
- Making a bout of diarrhoea shorter and less severe, and lowering the chance of more bouts in the months that follow
- Low zinc levels (zinc deficiency), when a health professional advises it. People more likely to run low include those with bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis or after stomach or bowel surgery, vegetarians and vegans, pregnant or breastfeeding women, older breastfed babies, children with sickle cell disease, and people who drink heavily
- Colds: zinc lozenges or syrup started at the first sign of a cold may help some people get better a little faster
Get medical help straight away if
- If a child or adult may have taken too much zinc (overdose), get medical help straight away and take the medicine or the empty pack with you.
- Contact a doctor or health worker if a side effect becomes severe or worrying, or if you notice anything not listed in the leaflet.
- Numbness, weakness in the arms or legs, or loss of balance and coordination after long-term use of zinc can be signs of low copper. See a doctor.
- High-dose zinc taken for a long time can lower copper enough to cause anaemia and weaker bones. Talk to a doctor if you have been taking high-dose zinc for a long time.
