Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How Zincshot Injection works

Zincshot Injection maintains zinc levels and prevents depletion of bodily stores, and subsequent deficiency symptoms. Zinc is a mineral essential for functioning of more than 70 different enzymes.

Quick tips

Zincshot Injection must be given by a doctor or trained nurse only, and never try to self-administer it, as improper use may cause serious tissue damage.
Zincshot Injection is usually diluted and given slowly into a vein to avoid irritation or burning.
Inform your doctor if you have kidney issues or are on other mineral supplements, as excess zinc can interfere with copper absorption and worsen imbalances.
Monitor for signs like nausea, metallic taste, stomach pain, or unusual tiredness, and report them. These could indicate zinc overload or infusion-related problems.
Do not take Zincshot Injection more frequently or in higher doses than prescribed, especially if it is part of a nutritional support plan (like TPN). Overuse can cause toxicity.

Safety advice

Frequently asked questions

What is Zincshot Injection used for?

Zincshot Injection is used as an additive in intravenous (IV) fluids, especially for patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). It helps prevent or treat zinc deficiency, which can cause poor wound healing, hair loss, weak immune function, and growth issues.

Who needs Zincshot Injection supplementation?

Patients on long-term TPN, those with severe gastrointestinal fluid loss, or with symptoms of zinc deficiency like poor healing, low appetite, or hair thinning, have certain medical conditions affecting zinc absorption, or are recovering from major surgery or burns, may need Zincshot Injection. A doctor will assess your zinc levels and decide if it is needed.

What precautions should be taken with Zincshot Injection?

Always ensure Zincshot Injection is clear and properly diluted before use. It must be given using sterile technique. Unused portions should be discarded since the product contains no preservatives. Patients with kidney problems may require special monitoring to avoid zinc buildup.

Can Zincshot Injection cause serious side effects or toxicity?

Yes, an overdose of Zincshot Injection can cause serious side effects like vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, breathing problems, or jaundice. In rare cases, excessive Zincshot Injection can lead to nerve damage or death, so dosing must be carefully controlled.

Why does Zincshot Injection need to be diluted before use?

Zincshot Injection has a very acidic pH, which can damage tissues if injected directly. Diluting it in fluids like saline or glucose prevents vein irritation and zinc loss, and ensures safe, slow delivery into the bloodstream.

Can Zincshot Injection affect copper levels in the body?

Prolonged use of Zincshot Injection without enough copper can cause copper deficiency, which may lead to anemia, low white blood cells, or nerve symptoms. Regular zinc and copper blood tests are recommended during long-term Zincshot Injection therapy.

What signs might indicate zinc overdose from Zincshot Injection?

Early signs of Zincshot Injection overdose include nausea, sweating, confusion, fast heartbeat, and hypothermia. Blood tests showing high serum zinc or elevated amylase levels may signal impending toxicity. Seek urgent care if these symptoms occur.
