Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate is prescribed in cases of zinc deficiency and/or zinc loss. Zinc deficiency can be caused by a poor diet or poor absorption. Excessive zinc loss can occur as a result of trauma, burns, diarrhoea, and other protein-depleted conditions. A zinc supplement is given until clinical improvement occurs, but in severe malabsorption or metabolic disease, it may need to be continued.
