MEDICATION (VET): Useful antiseptic astringent for ophthalmic use as aqueous solution or ointment (0.25-0.5%). Spraying sheep with 0.25% solution after shearing reduced incidence of infected wounds. 1% solutions have been used on granular vaginitis lesions of cows, posthitis of rams, and make excellent detergent, odorless, antiseptic egg wash. ... As white lotion ... on bruised, inflamed, pruritic skin areas on cows and horses.

This medication is a mineral used to treat or prevent low levels of zinc alone and together with oral rehydration therapy (ORT). It is also used as a topical astringent. Zinc Sulfate Injection, USP is indicated for use as a supplement to intravenous solutions given for TPN.
Zinc sulfate is a common zinc supplement in parenteral nutrition.
Zinc has been identified as a cofactor for over 70 different enzymes, including alkaline phosphatase, lactic dehydrogenase and both RNA and DNA polymerase. Zinc facilitates wound healing, helps maintain normal growth rates, normal skin hydration and the senses of taste and smell.

Absorption
Approximately 20 to 30% of dietary zinc is absorbed, primarily from the duodenum and ileum. The amount absorbed is dependent on the bioavailability from food. Zinc is the most bioavailable from red meat and oysters. Phytates may impair absorption by chelation and formation of insoluble complexes at an alkaline pH. After absorption, zinc is bound in the intestine to the protein metallothionein. Endogenous zinc can be reabsorbed in the ileum and colon, creating an enteropancreatic circulation of zinc.
Route of Elimination
Primarily fecal (approximately 90%); to a lesser extent in the urine and in perspiration.
Volume of Distribution
After absorption zinc is bound to protein metallothionein in the intestines. Zinc is widely distributed throughout the body. It is primarily stored in RBCs, WBCs, muscles, bones, Skin, Kidneys, Liver, Pancreas, retina, and prostate.
The pharmacokinetics of zinc sulfate were compared with those of a new zinc pantothenate, in rabbits. Each salt was administered to rabbits at a dosage of 3.3 uCi of zinc-65/kg of body weight. The measured pharmacokinetics of the two compounds responded to a two compartment open model. The urinary elimination of the two salts was similar, as was their localization in the skin and fur, but Zn pantothenate was retained by the liver to a lesser extent than was zinc sulfate (ZnSO4).

In women in different trimesters of pregnancy, the oral administration of 200 mg zinc sulfate per day resulted in an increase of serum zinc levels from 109.7 to 205.4 mg/dL. In the control group, serum zinc levels declined from 113.0 mg/dL in the first trimester to 83.8 in the third trimester.

...An absorption half-life of 0.4 hr /was reported/ when 45 mg Zn2+ as zinc sulfate was administered once in gelatine capsules to 10 healthy young men. Serum concentrations were measured frequently during a total investigation time of 8 hours. A mean maximum concentration of 8.2 umol Zn2+/L serum was found after 2.3 hours (tmax). There is evidence of an enteral recirculation, the first rebound effect appeared after 1.4 hours during the absorption phase before tmax was reached, and exhibited mean reabsorption rates of 70% of the dose given. The subsequent ones (max. of 5) appeared at regular intervals of 1.2 hours with a decrease of the quantity reabsorbed.

Zinc inhibits cAMP-induced, chloride-dependent fluid secretion by inhibiting basolateral potassium (K) channels, in in-vitro studies with rat ileum. This study has also shown the specificity of Zn to cAMP-activated K channels, because zinc did not block the calcium (Ca)-mediated K channels. As this study was not performed in Zn-deficient animals, it provides evidence that Zn is probably effective in the absence of Zn deficiency. Zinc also improves the absorption of water and electrolytes, improves regeneration of the intestinal epithelium, increases the levels of brush border enzymes, and enhances the immune response, allowing for a better clearance of the pathogens.
