Indications & Uses
Nuviron is indicated for:
Pharmacology
Ferrous Ascorbate, Folic Acid and Zinc is a combination of three nutritional supplements. Ferrous Ascorbate contains iron and vitamin C. The iron tops up the iron stores in your body and corrects iron deficiency anemia, while the vitamin C (ascorbate) is there to help your body absorb the iron better.
Folic Acid is a form of vitamin B. It helps form red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body. It is also needed in pregnancy, because it supports the development of the unborn baby's brain and spinal cord. Zinc is a micromineral that provides nutrition.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and elderly patients take one tablet a day, either before or after a meal, since absorption doesn't depend on food. The doctor may direct a different dose. In more severe cases, two tablets a day may be needed, as prescribed by the doctor. Safety and effectiveness in children have not been established.
Side Effects
Side effects from iron, folic acid and zinc supplements are usually mild and pass quickly. They include pain in the upper stomach, nausea, constipation, vomiting, diarrhoea and heartburn, among others. Allergic sensitisation has been reported after folic acid is taken by mouth or given by injection.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Take care when giving Ferrous Ascorbate + Folic Acid + Zinc Sulfate to people who may develop iron overload, such as those with haemochromatosis, haemolytic anemia or red cell aplasia. If a patient doesn't respond to treatment, the anemia may have another cause, and this should be investigated further.
Contraindications
Ferrous Ascorbate + Folic Acid + Zinc Sulfate should not be given to patients with haemolytic anaemia. It is also contraindicated where there is increased hypersensitivity to any of its components, and in conditions where the body already has too much iron.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or currently breast-feeding, talk to your doctor before you start or continue taking Ferrous Ascorbate + Folic Acid + Zinc Sulfate. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the medicine should be avoided unless there is definite evidence of iron deficiency. For the rest of the pregnancy, it is justified as prophylaxis of iron deficiency, particularly when zinc supplementation is also required.
