Glucose zinc acid is a type of auxiliary mineral medicine, especially suitable for children who lack glucose and zinc elements in their bodies. It can effectively promote the growth and development of children, and when taken in appropriate amounts, it will not cause adverse reactions. However, if the child’s body has normal levels of these nutrients, there is no need for additional supplementation to avoid potential negative effects.
After oral intake of this medicine, it is mainly absorbed in the small intestine and broken down into zinc ions and glucose acid. The concentration of zinc in the blood peaks within an hour and then gradually decreases, returning to the pre-medication level after about 12 hours. Zinc is widely distributed throughout the major organs and systems of the body.
Zinc is primarily excreted through feces, with a small amount also excreted in urine and breast milk. Zinc loss can also occur during bleeding and female menstruation. When administered in the nasal cavity, the medicine can adhere to the nasal mucosa for a long time, slowly releasing zinc ions and increasing local concentration.
Glucose zinc acid is available in various formulations, including oral liquids, granules, mixtures, syrups, chewable tablets, and soft capsules specially designed for infants and young children to meet the needs of different populations. These products are usually required to be stored in a light-protected and sealed manner to maintain their stability and effectiveness.
One of the methods for determining the content of glucose zinc acid is acid-base titration, which uses specific chemical reactions and indicator color changes to accurately measure the ratio of glucose zinc acid in the medicine, ensuring product quality and safety.
