Z & D Dry Syrup 10 ml

Z & D Dry Syrup is used to treat diarrhoea and zinc deficiency. The detailed uses of Z & D Dry Syrup are as follows:

• Acute childhood diarrhoea: Helps reduce the duration, frequency, and severity of sudden, loose, or watery stools in young children.
• Persistent diarrhoea: Supports the healing of the intestinal lining during prolonged diarrhoeal episodes and helps prevent future gut infections.
• Nutritional deficiency: Restores healthy levels of an essential micronutrient in children who are deficient due to poor dietary intake or malabsorption.

Z & D Dry Syrup may support recovery from diarrhoea and associated digestive symptoms in children when used as directed by a paediatrician.

Benefits may include:

• Z & D Dry Syrup may help reduce the frequency or severity of loose or watery stools in some children, depending on the underlying cause.
• By helping maintain or restore a healthy gut environment, Z & D Dry Syrup may support normal digestive function during recovery from diarrhoea.
• Z & D Dry Syrup may support a healthier balance of microorganisms in the digestive tract, which can contribute to normal gut function.
• By helping manage diarrhoea and associated gastrointestinal symptoms, Z & D Dry Syrup may support a return to normal feeding and daily activities as the child recovers.

• Z & D Dry Syrup should be given after meals or as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.
• Check the label for directions. Tap the bottle to loosen powder and add sterile water up to the mark. Shake vigorously to mix the powder. Administer the recommended dose to the child using the dropper or measuring cup.
• Shake well before use.

• Use ORS for hydration: Give your child Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) in small, frequent amounts alongside Z & D Dry Syrup to help replace fluids and salts lost through diarrhoea. Follow the preparation and dosing instructions on the ORS product or your healthcare provider's advice.
• Continue age-appropriate feeding: Continue breastfeeding and regular age-appropriate feeds for infants unless your doctor advises otherwise. Breast milk provides fluids and nutrition during recovery.
• Offer suitable foods: Once your child is ready to eat, offer small, frequent meals containing easy-to-digest, age-appropriate foods such as rice, bananas, toast, or curd if tolerated.
• Limit sugary and fatty foods: Avoid or limit sugary drinks, packaged fruit juices, carbonated beverages, and greasy or fried foods, as they may worsen diarrhoea or digestive discomfort in some children.
• Practise good hand hygiene: Encourage your child and caregivers to wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the toilet or changing nappies and before preparing or eating food. This can help reduce the spread of infections that cause diarrhoea.

• Check the expiry date: Always check the expiry date on the bottle before preparing or administering the medicine. Do not use it if it has expired or if the packaging is damaged.
• Use the recommended water: Prepare the dry syrup exactly as directed on the product label. If the instructions require boiled and cooled water, allow the water to cool to room temperature before mixing. Do not use hot water, as high temperatures may affect some formulations.
• Check the reconstituted liquid: Inspect the prepared suspension before each dose. Do not administer it if you notice unexpected colour changes, unusual clumping that does not disperse after shaking, or foreign particles.
• Follow the prescribed duration: Give the medicine for the full duration recommended by your child's doctor. Do not stop, extend, or repeat the treatment on your own simply because the diarrhoea improves or persists.
• Do not share the medicine: Never share Z & D Dry Syrup with another child, even if they have similar symptoms. The appropriate treatment and dose can differ according to the child's age, weight, and underlying condition.
