If you have excessive zinc levels from taking supplements, then read the supplement ingredients and don't take anymore until levels are normal again.

The body can rid excess zinc by eliminating the source. Other simple treatments are taking an antacid or a copper supplement. Many times fluid therapy, either oral or intravenous, will be very helpful. Taking a zinc supplement at a separate time from other vitamins and minerals will be vey helpful.

Zinc toxicity is uncommon but when it does occur treatment is symptomatic. Treatment can include increasing oral intake and medication for pain or fever.
