It is also an indispensable component of many enzyme systems (carbonic anhydrase, dehydrogenase...) that support the synthesis of proteins, glucid and nucleic acids. Zinc occurs in all tissues, keeping tissues intact. When zinc deficiency, the body will slow down growth, causing defects in the process of dividing tissues such as skin, intestinal mucosa or the immune system. Therefore, preparations like Saprozin have the ability to supplement, prevent zinc deficiency or support the following cases:
Malnutrition, growth retardation, growth retardation, rickets in children small. Mothers who are pregnant or breastfeeding. People with unscientific and unbalanced diets must be fed for a long time by intravenous route. People with acute or chronic diarrhea. People experiencing digestive disorders such as: Slow digestion, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, mild constipation. People with recurrent infections in the respiratory tract, skin, and digestive tract. People with night blindness, dry eyes, corneal ulcers. In addition, severe zinc deficiency is also characterized by manifestations of skin and mucosal lesions, typically: atopic dermatitis, diarrhea, inflammation around the natural openings (anus, vagina), dystrophy nails (wrinkled nails, white streaks, slow growth of nails), enteritis, dry eyes.

3.3. Handling in case of missed dose, overdose Saprozin Overdose: In case of taking too high a dose (using more than 15 sachets/day) may lead to immunosuppression instead of immune stimulation. Drinking high concentrations of zinc for a long time will cause the body to become deficient in copper (due to reduced absorption), thereby causing anemia due to a lack of red blood cells and neutropenia. At this time, chelating drugs (EDTA) can be used to remove zinc from the serum.
In acute zinc poisoning, zinc salts are gradually eroded by the formation of zinc chloride from stomach acid. The treatment is for the patient to drink milk, activated charcoal or alkaline carbonate, avoid using methods of vomiting or gastric lavage.
