if you are allergic to zinc oxide are you also allergic to zinc gluconate

In all likelihood, if you are allergic to one zinc
product, you will have a negative reaction to other products containing zinc as well. A
2003
study in the Lancet revealed that zinc allergies to one type of injectable
insulin containing zinc was a positive indicator for allergy to other types of
zinc-containing insulin. There have also been a few reports of people with zinc
allergies having adverse reactions to dental products containing
zinc.

True zinc allergies are rare; if you have had an
adverse reaction to a product, it would be wise to be tested to see if it was in fact
the zinc that caused the reaction, or whether you are sensitive to some other ingredient
in the product.
