Emzor Paediatric Zinc Sulphate 20mg x 100 Tablets
Emzor Paediatric Zinc Sulphate is a specialized oral mineral supplement for infants and children. Each dispersible tablet contains 20mg of Elemental Zinc (as Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate), which is critical for managing acute and persistent diarrhea in children under 5 years.
In Nigeria, healthcare providers recommend using Zinc Sulphate alongside Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) to help children recover faster from "running stomach" or stooling episodes.
