Is Zerolac Advisable For Infants?
My daughter is 2 months old. We were feeding her cow's milk but she had infection cause of cow's milk according to child specialist. Doctor prescribed Zerolac powder at that time. Now she is fine and taking zerolac. I want to know that we should continue with zerolac or we should go for any other product.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Zerolac is prescribed for temporary deficiency of lactase enzyme during prolonged diarrhea.
This can be confirmed by stool test for reducing substances.
After 10 days control of diarrhea one can withdraw zerolac and go for usual feeding.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
