Key Information
Short Description
Ferofit syrup is a medication used to treat iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency due to chronic blood loss or low intake of iron, and nutritional anemia, especially during pregnancy and lactation.
Dosage Form
Syrup
Introduction
Ferofit syrup contains a combination of Ferrous fumarate, Folic acid, Vitamin B12, and Zinc. Ferrous fumarate is a form of iron that offers higher absorption and fewer chances of gastrointestinal disturbances. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body and maintaining red blood cells, which helps individuals feel energetic and prevents anemia. Folic acid is crucial for various bodily functions, including nucleotide biosynthesis and homocysteine remethylation. It is particularly important during periods of rapid cell division and growth. Both children and adults require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia. Zinc and Vitamin B12 are essential during pregnancy, with Zinc promoting normal fetal growth and Vitamin B12 supporting blood cell initiation and maturation.
Directions for Use
Ferofit syrup can be taken orally with water, after meals. Use under medical supervision.
How it works
The mechanism of action of Ferofit syrup is not explicitly stated, but it is likely that the combination of Ferrous fumarate, Folic acid, Vitamin B12, and Zinc helps to treat iron deficiency anemia and nutritional anemia by replenishing iron stores and supporting red blood cell production.
