Description
HEXOTIC-Z is a Prebiotic & Probiotic Dry Syrup containing Zinc Gluconate 20 mg, a combination of beneficial probiotic microorganisms, and Fructo-Oligosaccharide (FOS) 25 mg. The probiotic blend includes L. Acidophilus, B. Longum, B. Bifidum and B. Infantis. This formulation is designed to provide nutritional and gastrointestinal microbiota support when recommended by a healthcare professional.
HEXOTIC-Z comes in a convenient 30 mL dry syrup pack. Its combination of probiotics, prebiotic FOS and zinc makes it suitable for use as part of supportive gastrointestinal care, particularly when changes in intestinal flora accompany diarrhoeal illness or antibiotic use. Evidence for probiotics varies by strain, formulation and clinical setting, so the expected benefit should not be generalized across all probiotic products.

Uses of HEXOTIC-Z
HEXOTIC-Z may be used as supportive gastrointestinal care in situations such as:
- Acute diarrhoea, alongside appropriate rehydration and medical care
- Persistent diarrhoea, when a healthcare professional considers nutritional and gastrointestinal support appropriate
- Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea, where selected probiotic preparations may help reduce the risk in some patients
- Gut microbiota support during or after antibiotic therapy
- Supportive nutritional care in patients with gastrointestinal disturbances
For childhood diarrhoea, oral rehydration remains an important part of management, while zinc supplementation also has an established role in many settings. However, the appropriate zinc dose depends on the patient’s age and the actual elemental zinc content of the formulation, so the product should be used according to professional advice.
Key Benefits of HEXOTIC-Z
- Combines probiotic microorganisms with a prebiotic
- Contains L. Acidophilus, B. Longum, B. Bifidum and B. Infantis
- Includes Fructo-Oligosaccharide (FOS) as a prebiotic ingredient
- Provides Zinc Gluconate as part of the formulation
- Convenient dry syrup dosage form
- May provide supportive gastrointestinal and microbiota care during diarrhoeal episodes or antibiotic use
- Suitable for use when recommended by a healthcare professional
Importantly, probiotic effects depend on the specific strain, dose and clinical condition. Therefore, evidence for one probiotic strain should not automatically be applied to every probiotic combination.
How HEXOTIC-Z Works
HEXOTIC-Z combines probiotics and a prebiotic to support the intestinal environment.
First, the probiotic microorganisms provide beneficial bacteria that can contribute to the balance of the intestinal microbiota. Different probiotic strains can have different effects, so their activity depends on the specific microorganisms included in the product.
Meanwhile, FOS acts as a prebiotic substrate that can support the growth or activity of selected microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract.
In addition, Zinc Gluconate provides zinc as a nutritional component. Zinc plays important roles in immune function, protein synthesis and normal intestinal function. Zinc supplementation has established use in the management of childhood diarrhoea in many settings.
Common Side Effects of HEXOTIC-Z
Most people tolerate probiotic and prebiotic formulations well. However, some individuals may experience temporary digestive symptoms such as:
- Bloating
- Gas
- Abdominal discomfort
- Changes in bowel habits
- Nausea
These symptoms may occur as the gastrointestinal system adjusts to the formulation.
Stop using the product and seek medical advice if unusual or severe symptoms occur, particularly persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, blood in stools, signs of dehydration or worsening diarrhoea.
Important Safety Information
- Use HEXOTIC-Z according to the recommendation of a healthcare professional.
- Do not use it as a substitute for oral rehydration therapy when diarrhoea causes fluid and electrolyte loss.
- Persistent diarrhoea, bloody stools, high fever or signs of dehydration require medical assessment.
- Probiotic effects are strain-specific; therefore, do not assume that every probiotic combination has the same clinical benefits.
- Patients with severely weakened immune systems or serious underlying illnesses should discuss probiotic use with a healthcare professional before use.
- If the patient is taking antibiotics, follow the healthcare professional’s instructions regarding the timing and duration of probiotic use.
- Check the product label for the exact reconstitution, storage and in-use instructions.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
- Keep the product out of reach of children.
The World Health Organization recommends oral rehydration and appropriate zinc supplementation as important components of childhood diarrhoea management, while current WHO guidance has also emphasized that probiotic recommendations depend on the clinical setting and available evidence.
Dosage & Administration
Use HEXOTIC-Z as directed by a physician or qualified healthcare professional.
The appropriate amount may depend on:
- Age
- Clinical condition
- Severity and duration of diarrhoea
- Dietary and nutritional status
- Concurrent medicines
- Individual medical requirements
For children with diarrhoea, zinc dosing should follow established age-specific guidance and the actual elemental zinc content of the product. Therefore, the 20 mg Zinc Gluconate stated in the composition should not automatically be interpreted as 20 mg elemental zinc.
For the dry syrup, reconstitute the product only according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Use the specified quantity of water, shake thoroughly and use an appropriate measuring device for administration.
Do not prepare the suspension using an estimated volume of water.
Storage
- Store according to the manufacturer’s recommended conditions.
- Keep the container tightly closed.
- Protect the product from excessive heat and moisture.
- After reconstitution, follow the manufacturer’s specified storage conditions and discard period.
- Keep out of reach of children.
