Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anaemia, anaemia due to poor dietary intake, increased iron requirement in pregnancy/lactation, folate deficiency anaemia
Ferrous ascorbate replenishes iron stores required for haemoglobin formation and oxygen transport. Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell production; together they help correct anaemia and improve haemoglobin levels.
Oral tablet/capsule. Take as advised by physician, usually once daily after food to reduce stomach upset; swallow whole with water. Avoid taking at the same time as tea/coffee, milk, calcium or antacids; keep a 2-hour gap.
