Biozinc B Syrup 100ml

Biozinc-B is indicated for the treatment and prevention of zinc and vitamin B deficiencies.

Zinc is vital for many biological functions, such as immunity enhancement, wound healing, digestion, reproduction, physical growth, and mental development. Zinc supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Zinc also has some antioxidant properties. Zinc is used to treat ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) in children. In adults, due to zinc deficiency, loss of appetite, poor sense of taste and smell, tendency towards depression, white marks on fingernails, frequent infections, low fertility, prostate problems, mental problems, poor wound healing, a poor immune system, diarrhoea, mental lethargy, rough skin, and weight loss may occur.

B vitamins are needed to release energy from food. They play an important role in ensuring healthy brain and nerve function, healthy red blood cell formation in children & adults. They are especially needed for the healthy growth and development of children. B-Vitamin deficiencies in adults cause profound fatigue and various types of neurologic manifestations, which may include weakness, poor balance, confusion, irritability, memory loss, nervousness, tingling of the limbs, and loss of coordination. Additional symptoms of vitamin B deficiency are sleep disturbances, nausea, poor appetite, frequent infections, and skin lesions.

Concomitant intake of tetracyclines and zinc may decrease the Gl absorption and serum levels of tetracyclines. Similarly, concomitant administration of zinc and fluoroquinolones may decrease the Gl absorption and serum levels of some fluoroquinolones. Coadministration of Niacin and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (eg, lovastatin) may result in myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Pyridoxine reduces levodopa's effectiveness by increasing its peripheral metabolism. Co-administration of pyridoxine with phenytoin may decrease serum levels of phenytoin.

Vitamin B Complex & Zinc is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this product.

This is generally well tolerated. However, a few side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea & stomach upset may occur. Side effects have been reported with specific vitamins, but generally at levels substantially higher than recommended doses.

This is recommended in pregnancy and lactation.

In acute renal failure, zinc accumulation may occur, so dosage adjustment is needed. This is not intended for the treatment of severe specific deficiencies.

In case of overdosage, initially epigastric pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting can occur. In that case, one should seek emergency medical attention. Initially, an emetic should be given, and then gastric lavage and general supportive measures should be employed.
