FERITREX -XT

				
					Composition: Ferrous Ascorbate + Folic Acid (Vit B9) + Zinc Sulphate

This is a high-bioavailability hematinic. Ferrous Ascorbate (an iron-ascorbic acid complex) prevents the oxidation of iron to the ferric form, keeping it in the more absorbable ferrous state even in varying gastric pH levels. Folic acid is a precursor to tetrahydrofolate, essential for DNA synthesis during erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). Zinc serves as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes involved in cellular metabolism.

Hemoglobin Recovery: Rapidly corrects iron-deficiency anemia, restoring energy levels and reducing pale skin/fatigue.
Neural Protection: Folic acid is critical for preventing Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) in the developing fetus.
Cellular Health: Zinc improves wound healing, skin integrity, and bolsters the immune response against pathogens.
GI Tolerance: Formulated to cause significantly less gastric irritation than Ferrous Sulphate.

Generally Prescribed for Following:

Anemia: Iron deficiency anemia of various etiologies (nutritional, chronic blood loss, or malabsorption).
Pregnancy: Routine supplementation to meet the 50% increase in blood volume.
Recovery: Post-operative blood loss recovery and post-menstrual iron replenishment.
Growth: Adolescence-related iron requirements.

Potential Side Effects and Adverse Reactions:

Gastrointestinal: Epigastric pain, nausea, and heartburn.
Bowel Changes: Constipation or diarrhea are common.
Stool Color: Harmless darkening of stools (black/green) due to unabsorbed iron.
Oral: Occasional temporary staining of teeth if the tablet is crushed or chewed.

General Advisories and Critical Avoidances:

Timing: Best absorbed on an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals).
Interactions: AVOID tea, coffee, milk, or calcium tablets within 2 hours, as they inhibit iron absorption.
Safe for Breastfeeding: Highly recommended for lactating mothers to maintain iron stores.
