Zinc is an element that is found in trace amounts in the body, but is essential for its proper functioning. This element affects the functioning of the immune system, wound healing, and the perception of taste and smell. Zinc plays an important role in the functioning of the thyroid gland, development and growth processes, functions of the nervous system and the action of insulin.

Contraindications
A contraindication to the use of Zinkorot is hypersensitivity to zinc orothonate or any of the other ingredients.
Side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
Very rare side effects (less than 1 in 10,000 patients): At the beginning of treatment, zinc salts may cause abdominal pain, nausea, indigestion and diarrhea. These symptoms are more common if zinc is taken on an empty stomach. Symptoms disappear quickly after stopping the drug.
Long-term use of Zinkorot tablets may reduce the absorption of copper, so it is recommended to monitor the concentration of this element in the blood. Long-term use of the drug may also reduce iron absorption.
