Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin. It is a stilbenoid, a derivate of stilbene, and is produced in plants with the help of the enzyme stilbene synthase. It exists as cis-(Z) and trans-(E) isomers. The trans- form can undergo isomerisation to the cis- form when heated or exposed to ultraviolet irradiation. In a 2004 issue of Science, Dr. Sinclair of Harvard University said resveratrol is not an easy molecule to protect from oxidation. It has been claimed that it is readily degraded by exposure to light, heat, and oxygen. However, studies find that Trans-resveratrol undergoes negligible oxidation in normal atmosphere at room temperature.

Resveratrol, a phytoalexin, has been found to inhibit herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) replication in a dose-dependent, reversible manner, although this is only one of its many pharmaceutical properties. In some countries where there is higher consumption of red wine, there appears to be a lower incidence of heart disease. Other benefits of resveratrol include its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In preclinical studies, Resveratrol has been found to have potential anticancer properties.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral, which means that it must be obtained from the diet since the body cannot make enough. Next to iron, zinc is the most abundant trace mineral in the body. Stored primarily in muscle, zinc is also found in high concentrations in red and white blood cells, the retina of the eye, bones, skin, kidneys, liver, and pancreas. Some of the symptoms of zinc deficiency include loss of appetite, poor growth, weight loss, impaired taste or smell, poor wound healing, skin abnormalities (such as acne, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis), hair loss, night blindness, hypogonadism and delayed sexual maturation, white spots on the fingernails and feelings of depression.

Uses

Being investigated for the treatment of Herpes labialis infections (cold sores).

Zinc Sulphate is used for Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections; Diarrhoea; Loss of appetite; Severe growth retardation; Deformed bone formation; Impaired immunological response; Acrodermatitis enteropathica; Parakeratatic skin lesions; Defective and delayed wound healing; Anaemia; Night blindness; Mental disturbances

How Esverol works

Resveratrol suppresses NF-kappaB (NF-kappaB) activation in HSV infected cells. Reports have indicated that HSV activates NF-kappaB during productive infection and this may be an essential aspect of its replication scheme [PMID: 9705914].

Dosage

Esverol dosage

Syrup-

Children under 10 kg: One teaspoonful 2 times daily.
Children within 10 to 30 kg: Two teaspoonful 1-3 times daily.
Adults and children over 30 kg body weight: Four teaspoonful 1-3 times daily.

Tablet-In the treatment of Diarrhoea Zinc should be given as soon as diarrhoea starts:

For infants between 2 to 6 months of age: 10 mg Zinc once daily for 10-14 days.
For children between 6 months to 5 years of age: 20 mg Zinc once daily for 10-14 days.

For other indications:

The recommended dose for children: 2 to 2.5 mg/kg/day.
Children under 10 kg: 10 mg Zinc 2 times daily.
Children within 10 to 30 kg: 20 mg Zinc 1-3 times daily.
Adults and children over 30 kg body weight: 40 mg Zinc 1-3 times daily.

Dispersible Tablet-

Place the tablet in a teaspoon
Add adequate amount of water
Let the tablet dissolve completely
Give the entire spoonful solution

Side Effects

In case of zinc mild side effects such as gastric ulcer, nausea, vomiting, metallic taste, headache, drowsiness have been observed.

Precaution

Concurrent administration of Zinc salt with penicillamine might diminish the effect of Penicillamine. The absorption of Zinc, although poor, may be decreased by various compounds including some foods. Chelation may occur with tetracyclines.

Interaction

Zinc may inhibit the absorption of concurrently administered tetracyclines, when both are being given an interval of at least 3 hours.

Elimination Route

High absorption but very low bioavailability.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnant women and nursing mothers should avoid zinc doses higher than RDA amounts.

Contraindication

It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Zinc.

Acute Overdose

Zinc sulphate is corrosive in overdose. Symptoms are corrosion and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and stomach; ulceration of the stomach followed by perforation may occur. Gastric lavage and emesis should be avoided. Demulcents such as milk should be given. Chelating agents such as sodium edetate may be useful.
