Piramal Critical Care launches new Zinc Sulfate concentration in US to expand injectable portfolio

Piramal Critical Care (PCC), a division of Piramal Pharma Limited, has announced the introduction of a new concentration of Zinc Sulfate for Injection USP in the U.S. market. This 10mg/10mL (1 mg/mL) concentration is a strategic addition to PCC’s existing Zinc Sulfate Injection product line and overall generic injectables portfolio.

Addressing Pediatric Nutritional Needs with Zinc Sulfate Injection

Zinc Sulfate is a critical trace element used in parenteral nutrition, especially when oral or enteral nutrition is not feasible. The new 1 mg/mL concentration is particularly tailored for pediatric patients, including those weighing less than 26 pounds. This expansion in the product line demonstrates PCC’s commitment to addressing the diverse needs of patients in the U.S.
