Zinx Cough Kit Oral

Dosage of the solution is based on your age, medical condition, and response to treatment. In a 24-hour period, adults and children older than 12 years should not take more than 60 milliliters (12 teaspoonfuls), children aged 6 to 12 years should not take more than 30 milliliters (6 teaspoonfuls), and children aged 2 to 6 years should not take more than 15 milliliters (3 teaspoonfuls).

For the zinc lozenges, slowly dissolve 2 lozenges in your mouth, one after the other, at the first sign of a cold (e.g., scratchy throat). Then slowly dissolve 1 lozenge in your mouth every 2 hours (with 1 lozenge at bedtime) until the cold symptoms have gone away for 6 hours. Do not use more than 10 lozenges in a 24-hour period. Do not eat or drink citrus fruit or juices within 30 minutes before or after using the zinc lozenges.

Tell your doctor if your condition persists for more than 1 week, or if it worsens, keeps coming back, or occurs with fever, rash, or persistent headache.
