Zinc sulfate monohydrate is an essential trace element required for numerous enzymatic functions in the body. Zinc plays a critical role in normal growth, health, sexual maturation, reproduction, dark adaptation of vision, olfactory and gustatory functions, insulin storage and release, and immune defense mechanisms. Zinc deficiency may result in weakened immune function, delayed wound healing, reduced taste and smell sensitivity, increased susceptibility to infections, poor night vision, higher risk of miscarriage, hair loss, mental sluggishness, skin disorders, and underdevelopment of reproductive organs.
Square Zinc is prescribed for the treatment of zinc deficiency and conditions where zinc is lost excessively. Zinc deficiency may result from an insufficient diet or malabsorption. Excessive zinc loss can occur due to trauma, burns, diarrhea, or protein-losing conditions. Zinc supplementation is continued until clinical improvement is observed. In cases of severe malabsorption, metabolic disorders, or persistent zinc loss, long-term supplementation may be necessary.
