Zinc Chloride Injection is equivalent to Zinc 5.1 mg in 2 mL, and is
a clear, colourless solution
containing 10.6 mg of zinc chloride and water for injection in each 2
mL ampoule. (The zinc component

each ampoule is 0.156 mmol (5.5
mg). The pH of the solution ranges between 4.0 and 5.5.
PHARMACOLOGY
Zinc is an essential trace element in nutrition. It is a constituent
of many enzymatic systems, including
alkaline phosphatase, carbonic anhydrase, carboxypeptidase and alcohol
dehydrogenase. It is also present
with insulin in the pancreas. Zinc is involved in DNA and protein
synthesis and facilitates wound
healing, helping to maintain normal growth rates. It is essential
for immune function and development of
the reproductive organs and normal functioning of the prostate gland.
It is also involved in certain
enzymatic reactions necessary for the normal functioning of the
skin’s oil glands. Zinc is required for the
mobilisation of vitamin A from the liver into plasma. It also
helps to maintain the senses of taste and
smell.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Zinc is distributed widely throughout the body and is excreted in
the faeces. Only traces appear in the
urine since the kidneys play only a minor role in regulating the
content of zinc within the body.
Approximately 70% of zinc is loosely bound to albumin and other
proteins. The normal concentration of
zinc in plasma and serum ranges from 0.7 to 1.5 mg/L.
