This medication should not be administered directly into the peripheral vein without dilution. Administering it directly into the peripheral vein may increase the risk of phlebitis or kidney damage due to zinc. As the zinc content is very low, serious toxic symptoms due to this drug are very rare. When mixing this drug with TPN solution, it is advisable to work in a laminar flow environment to maintain sterility. Moreover, parenteral medications should be visually inspected for precipitate or discoloration prior to administration. When zinc is administered with copper, the serum copper levels may decrease, so regular monitoring of plasma copper and zinc levels should be conducted to inform dosing. This medication is excreted from the body through the intestines and kidneys, so patients with abnormalities in excretory organs should consider the possibility of zinc accumulation in the body. The safety of this drug has not been established in pregnant women or women who may become pregnant, therefore it should only be used cautiously when the benefits of treatment are judged to outweigh the risks. Zinc can cross the placenta and can be found in breast milk. In cases of overdose, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, dizziness, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and ataxia may occur, and in severe cases, it can be fatal. Calcium supplementation may help prevent the toxicity of zinc. This medication should be stored out of reach of children and kept in its original packaging in a dry place at room temperature.
