Immunid Plus Vitamin C + Zinc Syrup 100ml is a dietary supplement syrup combining high-dose vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and zinc to support immune system function, boost resistance against infections (e.g., colds, flu), promote wound healing, and aid recovery from illness or nutritional deficiencies.

Prescription:

Over-the-counter (OTC) dietary supplement. No prescription required in Ghana; freely available in pharmacies and retail outlets. Consult a doctor or pharmacist before use, especially in children under 6 months, pregnant/breastfeeding women, or if you have kidney issues (high zinc/vitamin C may pose risks).

Therapeutic Category:

Active Ingredients/Composition: Per 5 ml (typical serving; exact amounts vary slightly by batch/label):

• Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – 100–150 mg (antioxidant, supports immune cell function, collagen formation).
• Zinc (as zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate) – 5–10 mg (supports immune cell development, wound healing, and normal taste/smell). Other ingredients: Purified water, sucrose/sorbitol (sweetener), flavoring (e.g., orange/fruit), preservatives (e.g., sodium benzoate), thickeners, citric acid (pH adjuster), and colorants. Syrup is orange/yellow with pleasant citrus taste.

Vitamins: Yes – Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – primary vitamin component.

Minerals: Yes – Zinc (from zinc gluconate/sulfate; supports immunity and healing).

Variant:

• Immunid Plus Vitamin C + Zinc Syrup 100ml (standard syrup bottle). Related variants: Larger bottles (e.g., 200ml), Immunid Plus tablets/capsules (solid form), or Immunid syrup without zinc (vitamin C only). The 100ml is the common small/pediatric size.

Storage Advice: Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (below 25–30°C), away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep tightly closed after use. Out of reach of children.

Safety Advice:

• Dietary supplement—not a substitute for balanced diet or medical treatment of deficiency/illness (get blood tests if suspected low vitamin C/zinc).
• Consult doctor before use if pregnant/breastfeeding (vitamin C/zinc safe but confirm dose), have kidney stones (high vitamin C increases oxalate), hemochromatosis (iron overload), or on medications (zinc may reduce antibiotic absorption).
• Do not exceed dose (risk of GI upset, nausea, or zinc toxicity with overuse).
• If symptoms like persistent fatigue or poor immunity persist, seek medical evaluation (may indicate underlying issue).
• Keep out of reach of children (overdose risk from zinc/vitamin C).
