Indications & Uses
This tablet is used to treat and prevent iron, folic acid and zinc deficiencies.
Pharmacology
This tablet contains Iron, Folic Acid and Zinc. The Iron is in the form of Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex, a newer type of Iron preparation. It holds non-ionic Ferric Iron and Polymaltose together in a stable complex. When the complex reaches the surface of the mucosal cells, the Iron is absorbed in a controlled way. Because it is non-ionic, Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than the conventional form of Iron. Folic Acid helps the fetus develop properly. Zinc keeps enzymes working and helps the body metabolize proteins.
