The drug JAMPZINC-HC contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):
|
1
Hydrocortisone
UNII 3X7931PO74 - HYDROCORTISONE ACETATE
|
|
Hydrocortisone is the main glucocorticoid secreted by the adrenal cortex. Hydrocortisone is an anti-inflammatory steroid. Its anti-inflammatory action is due to reduction in the vascular component of the inflammatory response and reduction in the formation of inflammatory fluid and cellular exudates. |
|
2
Zinc
UNII PTX099XSF1 - ZINC SULFATE MONOHYDRATE
|
|
Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells. |
