What is Ferro-Forte Syrup used for?

Prevention and treatment of iron deficiency and nutritional anemia; iron supplementation during pregnancy and lactation; anemia due to chronic blood loss or inadequate dietary intake (as advised by a doctor).

How Ferro-Forte Syrup Works

Iron replenishes body iron stores needed to form hemoglobin and red blood cells, improving oxygen-carrying capacity. Added vitamins/minerals (if present) support red cell production and correct associated nutritional deficiencies.

Dosage & Directions

Oral syrup. Shake well before use. Take the prescribed dose using a measuring cup/spoon, preferably after food to reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking at the same time as milk, tea/coffee, antacids, calcium or thyroid medicines; keep a 2–4 hour gap.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
