IRON RICH SYRUP

Each 15ml contains:

A balanced combination of well-known ingredients, i.e., Ferric ammonium citrate, which is a complex salt of iron, ammonia, and citric acid and is one of the best-tolerated iron supplements; Vitamin B12 has a vital role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the formation of blood. Folic acid helps the body make healthy new cells.

Ferric ammonium citrate provides an optimum tolerance of the iron preparation, which is of utmost importance in maintaining long-term patient compliance to any hematinic therapy. It rapidly supplements elemental iron so that iron deficiency is quickly controlled, thus leading to faster correction of anemia and replenishment of tissue iron stores. Folic acid is biochemically inactive and converted to tetrahydrofolic acid and methyltetrahydrofolate by dihydrofolate reductase in the liver.

Iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy anemia, anemia due to chronic blood loss, supplemental therapy in lactating mothers, chronic illness, loss of appetite, weakness, and lack of concentration.

Peptic ulcer, regional enteritis, hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, hemolytic anemia, and all anemias other than iron deficiency.

Nausea, regurgitation, constipation, pyrosis (burning sensation in the chest), and an upset stomach may occur with hematinics.

Iron may cause your stools to turn black, an effect that is not harmful. GI effects can be reduced by taking it with food.

Iron compounds taken orally can impair the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics. Antacids given concomitantly with iron compounds decrease iron absorption.

Oral iron may aggravate peptic ulcers, regional enteritis, and ulcerative colitis.

As directed by the physician.

Store in a cool and dark place. Protect from direct sunlight.
