Question

I'm just wondering about the right dosage for Zincovit tablets for a 10-year-old kid and for adults. And I'm also curious about the right dosage for Celin 500mg in both kids and adults. Is the Celin tablet chewable?

For Zincovit:

  • Children (10 years old): 1 tablet (containing 20mg zinc, 100mg vitamin C, and other multivitamins) once daily after meals,
  • Adults: 1-2 tablets once or twice daily after meals.

For Celin 500mg:

  • Children (10 years old): 250-500mg (12 to 1 tablet) once daily,
  • Adults: 500mg (1 tablet) once daily. Celin 500mg tablets are not chewable; they should be swallowed whole with water.
