⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
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.
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.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
