Zinplex Junior Syrup is formulated to support children’s immune health with key ingredients such as zinc, selenium, and vitamin C. These nutrients are generally considered safe when taken as recommended; however, some side effects can occur, particularly if the recommended dosage is exceeded.
Potential side effects primarily stem from zinc supplementation. While side effects are not common at normal doses, large doses of zinc can potentially cause:
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps
- Nausea or vomiting
- Other gastrointestinal disturbances
Rarely, individuals may experience allergic reactions to zinc or other syrup components. Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include rash; hives; swelling of the mouth, face, or throat; difficulty breathing; or blistered skin. Immediate medical attention is required if these symptoms occur[3].
The product is free from quinoline, paraben, and tartrazine and contains sugar and sodium benzoate as a preservative[1][5]. This should be noted for children with allergies to these substances or with dietary restrictions regarding sugar.
It is important to administer Zinplex Junior Syrup according to the dosage guidelines for your child’s age and to consult a healthcare professional if any side effects occur or if you have concerns about allergies or existing medical conditions[2][5].
