Ozink-B syrup: Each 5 ml syrup contains Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate USP 27.45 mg equivalent to Elemental Zinc 10 mg, Thiamine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B₁) BP 5 mg, Riboflavin 5-Phosphate Sodium BP 2.74 mg equivalent to Riboflavin (Vitamin B₂) 2 mg, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B₆) BP 2 mg, Nicotinamide (Vitamin B₃) BP 20 mg.
Ozink-B syrup is the preparation of Iron, Vitamin B-complex and Zinc. In the preparation, Iron is present as Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex, a noble Iron preparation, which contains nonionic ferric iron and Polymaltose in a stable complex. This facilitates a controlled absorption of the Iron when it comes in contact with the mucosal cell surface. Being non-ionic, Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than conventional Iron form.
Ozink-B is indicated for the treatment and prevention of B-vitamins and Zinc deficiencies. B-vitamins are needed to release energy from food. They play an important role in ensuring healthy brain and nerve function, formation of healthy red blood cells (RBC) in children & adults. They are specially required for healthy growth and development of children. Zinc is necessary to maintain a healthy immune system. It ensures normal growth & sexual development of children. It is further necessary for the growth and maintenance of muscles.
