• Iron Polymaltose ensures high absorption with reduced stomach irritation
• Effectively treats iron deficiency anemia and prevents recurrence
• Folic Acid supports healthy red blood cell production and overall blood health

Used For:

• Treatment of iron deficiency anemia

• Management of nutritional or chronic iron deficiency

How it Works:

Iron is essential for hemoglobin synthesis, enabling oxygen transport in blood, while Folic Acid promotes DNA synthesis and the formation of mature red blood cells, preventing anemia and fatigue.

Usage & Safety Dosage:

Typically 1–2 teaspoons daily, depending on age and severity of deficiency, or as directed by a doctor.

Take after meals to improve tolerance.

Side Effects:

May cause mild stomach upset, nausea, or dark stools (a normal iron effect).

Side effects are generally milder than traditional iron salts.

Drug Interactions:

Iron may interfere with the absorption of certain antibiotics and thyroid medications.

Separate doses by at least 2 hours.

When Not to Use:

• Non–iron deficiency anemia (e.g., B12 deficiency)
• Iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis

Precautions:

Use only after confirming iron deficiency through medical evaluation.

Folic acid can mask signs of pernicious anemia—use with caution.

Warnings:

Accidental overdose of iron is dangerous, particularly for young children.

Keep strictly out of reach and follow prescribed dosage carefully.
