How Soferi Drops works

Soferi Suspension contains three ingredients, namely folic acid, iron, and vitamin B12. Iron replenishes the iron stores in the body and corrects iron-deficiency anemia. Folic acid is essential for the production of red blood cells. It also prevents and treats folate deficiency and anemia. Vitamin B12 is essential for red blood cell production, nerve function, and DNA synthesis. Therefore, adequate vitamin B12 intake is important during childhood to support healthy nerves and overall growth.

Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Safety advice for Soferi Drops

Warnings and precautions

A supplement is not a substitute for a balanced diet or for treating the cause of a symptom. Iron makes stools black and can cause constipation — this is expected, but tell your doctor if it troubles you. Keep iron-containing products well out of reach of children; an overdose in a small child is a medical emergency. Check the labels of everything you take so you do not double up on the same nutrient. Tingling, numbness or burning in the hands and feet should be assessed by a doctor rather than self-treated — a supplement does not address the cause. Folic acid can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency while nerve damage continues, so B12 should be checked before taking folic acid long term. Bright yellow urine after a B-complex dose is expected and harmless.

Do not take Soferi if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack.

Interactions with other medicines

Iron, calcium, zinc and magnesium reduce the absorption of thyroid tablets and several antibiotics — separate them by a few hours. Tea and coffee taken with iron reduce how much is absorbed; vitamin C increases it. Long-term metformin, acid-reducing medicines and some anti-epileptics lower B12 or folate levels. Tell your doctor if you take levodopa, as vitamin B6 can reduce its effect.

How to store Soferi Drops

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Once opened, use it within the period printed on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children.

Expert advice for Soferi Drops

Avoid taking antacids 2 hours before or after taking Soferi Suspension as they make it harder for your body to absorb the medicine. Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medications like antibiotics, antacids, or medicines for heart disease or bone disorders. Drink 6 to 8 full glasses of water daily to help prevent constipation while you are taking this medicine. Do not use a stool softener (laxative) without first asking your doctor. Along with taking Soferi Suspension, take a healthy diet, sleep for a minimum 6-7 hours at night, and reduce stress levels.
