Benefits of Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup

In Nutritional deficiency
Tonoferon Paediatric replaces the vitamins or minerals your body is short of, correcting the deficiency and the symptoms it was causing.
In Dietary supplementation
Tonoferon Paediatric fills the gap between what your diet provides and what your body needs, which matters most when appetite is poor, needs are raised, or a medical condition limits absorption.
In Vitamin B deficiency
Tonoferon Paediatric restores the B vitamins your body needs to turn food into energy and to keep nerves and blood cells healthy, correcting the deficiency behind symptoms such as tiredness, sore tongue and pins and needles.
In Nerve pain and tingling
Tonoferon Paediatric supplies the vitamins nerves need to repair their protective covering, which over weeks can ease the burning, tingling and numbness of nerve damage.
In Anaemia
Tonoferon Paediatric gives the bone marrow the B12 and folate it needs to make healthy red blood cells, correcting the anaemia and the tiredness and breathlessness that come with it.
In Tiredness due to deficiency
Tonoferon Paediatric corrects a lack of B vitamins, which is a common and easily missed reason for feeling drained. Energy returns as the stores are rebuilt.

How Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup works

Iron replenishes body iron stores needed to make haemoglobin and red blood cells. Folic acid and vitamin B12 support DNA synthesis and maturation of red blood cells, improving haemoglobin levels and reducing anaemia symptoms.

How to take Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup

Oral paediatric syrup; shake well before use. Measure dose with a calibrated spoon/cup as prescribed by the paediatrician. Can be given with food if stomach upset occurs; avoid giving along with milk, tea/coffee; keep a 2-hour gap from calcium/antacids if possible. Rinse mouth/brush teeth after dosing to reduce teeth staining.

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 it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting and stomach pain, and with iron can be dangerous, especially in children. It is unlikely to cause serious harm, because the body passes surplus B vitamins out in the urine. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup

Most side effects of Tonoferon Paediatric are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Nausea
  • vomiting
  • abdominal pain
  • constipation
  • diarrhoea
  • dark/black stools
  • metallic taste
  • teeth staining
  • loss of appetite

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
