This medication should not be injected directly into a peripheral vein without dilution. This is because administering directly into a peripheral vein can cause phlebitis or zinc may cause damage to the kidneys. The amount of zinc in this medication is very small, so toxic symptoms are rarely observed. When using this medication with other nutritional fluids, it is important to maintain sterility, and it is advisable to use specific equipment called a layer plate. Before administration, be sure to check for precipitation or discoloration in the solution visually. Zinc and copper can interact with each other, so the levels of copper and zinc in the blood should be regularly monitored in planning administration. This medication is mainly excreted through the intestines and kidneys, so caution is required for individuals with problems in these organs, as zinc can accumulate in the body. This medication should only be used in pregnant or nursing women when the benefits are judged to outweigh the risks, as its safety has not been fully established. Zinc can cross the placenta and may also be present in breast milk. Overdose may result in symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, dizziness, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and ataxia, so caution is advised. Calcium intake can help prevent zinc toxicity to some extent. This medication should be kept out of reach of children and stored in a dry place at room temperature in its original packaging. Additionally, as it does not contain preservatives, any unused portion must be discarded.
