Jorafer Suspension

Uses of Jorafer Suspension

• Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia (including nutritional deficiency
• pregnancy/lactation
• growth spurts
• chronic blood loss) when oral iron supplementation is advised.

Key benefits

• Helps treat iron deficiency anemia
• Increases hemoglobin levels
• Replenishes iron stores
• Reduces fatigue and weakness due to anemia
• Supports healthy red blood cell formation

How Jorafer Suspension works

Oral iron replenishes body iron stores and provides elemental iron required for hemoglobin and red blood cell production. This improves oxygen-carrying capacity and helps correct anemia symptoms over time.

How to take Jorafer Suspension

Oral suspension: shake well before use and measure with a dosing cup/spoon. Usually taken once or twice daily as prescribed; preferably on an empty stomach for better absorption, but may be taken with food if it causes stomach upset. Avoid taking at the same time as दूध/चाय/कॉफी, antacids, calcium or zinc supplements; keep a 2-hour gap.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take the missed dose of Jorafer as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

If you take too much

Taking more Jorafer than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
