Introduction

Lexifer Syrup is a haematinic that contains Sodium feredetate, a unionised form of iron that is less likely to cause stomach upsets or discolour teeth. It is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia, anemia during pregnancy, and severe blood loss during menstruation. The increased iron intake allows the body to increase its production of haemoglobin, which is the oxygen-transporting substance found in red blood cells.

Use Lexifer Syrup under medical supervision.

Sodium feredetate breaks down in the gut and releases the iron, which is then absorbed by the body. The unionised form of iron is less likely to cause stomach upsets or discolour teeth.
