DESCRIPTION:
Calfic syrup is an ideal combination of calcium, iron-folic acid and B12 vitamin. Ferrous Gluconate is formed with iron and gluconic acid. It is only 12 per cent elemental iron. Calcium Gluconate is the calcium salt of gluconic acid, an oxidation product of glucose, and contains 9.3% calcium, which is about one-third of the calcium in the strength of calcium chloride USP. Vitamin B12 has a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system and in the formation of blood. Folic acid is a form of water-soluble vitamin B9 and is a key factor in the synthesis of nucleic acid (DNA & RNA). It is vital for the production of healthy red blood cells. The use of this compound compared with other iron preparations results in satisfactory reticulocyte responses, a high percentage utilization of iron, and a daily increase in haemoglobin that a normal level occurs in a reasonably short time.
INDICATIONS:
Low calcium levels such as weak bones (osteomalacia/rickets), decreased activity of the parathyroid gland (hypoparathyroidism), and certain muscle diseases (latent tetany).
