Ferrogen-Z 10 Tab (Ferrous Fumarate 152Mg + Folic Acid 750Mcg + Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate 61.8Mg (Eq To Elemental Zinc 22.5Mg)) By Intas

What is it used for?
Used to prevent or treat iron and folic acid deficiency, which may lead to nutritional anaemia. It also provides zinc supplementation when needed.

How does it work?
Iron helps the body make haemoglobin for carrying oxygen in the blood. Folic acid supports the formation of healthy red blood cells, while zinc supports normal growth, immunity and body functions.

How to take/use it
Take only as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Swallow with water. If it causes stomach upset, taking it after food may help. Avoid taking it at the same time as tea, coffee, milk, calcium supplements or antacids; ask a pharmacist about the appropriate time gap.

Common side effects
Nausea, stomach discomfort, constipation, diarrhoea, metallic taste and dark-coloured stools.

Precautions
Tell the doctor if there is iron overload, a blood disorder not caused by iron deficiency, or an allergy to any ingredient. Iron supplements may interact with antacids, calcium supplements and some antibiotics. Keep out of reach of children, as accidental iron overdose can be dangerous.
