Zincshot Injection belongs to the group of medicines called mineral supplements used to treat and prevent zinc deficiency. A mineral deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough minerals from food. Minerals are necessary for the development of the body and the prevention of diseases.
 
Zincshot Injection contains ‘Zinc chloride’, an essential trace element involved in various body enzyme functions. Zincshot Injection helps in strengthening the immune system and provides relief from flu and cold symptoms. It also helps in the growth and maintenance of good health.

In some cases, Zincshot Injection may cause certain common side effects, such as regurgitation (unintentionally spitting up undigested or partially digested food), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, and indigestion. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Mineral deficiency: A mineral deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough minerals from food. Minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Mineral deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, weak bones, and fatigue. The human body requires minerals for bodily functions and proper growth. Mineral deficiency could occur due to a lack of minerals in the diet, increased need for minerals, or difficulty in the absorption of minerals from food. Zinc deficiency may cause loss of appetite, smell or taste, decreased immune system, and slowed growth rate.
