Uses of Zifol XT Tablet
- Treatment
- Prevention of iron deficiency anaemia
- Folate deficiency
- Anaemia during pregnancy
- Lactation
- Nutritional anaemia due to poor intake or blood loss
Benefits of Zifol XT Tablet
- In Nutritional deficiency
- Zifol XT replaces the vitamins or minerals your body is short of, correcting the deficiency and the symptoms it was causing.
- In Dietary supplementation
- Zifol XT 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
- Zifol XT 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
- Zifol XT 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
- Zifol XT 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
- Zifol XT 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 Zifol XT Tablet works
Ferrous ascorbate replenishes body iron stores required for haemoglobin formation and oxygen transport. Folic acid helps in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production, correcting folate-related megaloblastic anaemia. Together they improve haemoglobin and reduce anaemia symptoms.
How to take Zifol XT Tablet
Tablet. Take as directed by physician, usually 1 tablet once daily or as advised. Preferably take after food to reduce stomach upset; swallow whole with water. Avoid taking with milk/tea/coffee or antacids close to the dose.
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 Zifol XT Tablet
Most side effects of Zifol XT are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Nausea
- stomach pain
- constipation
- diarrhoea
- vomiting
- dark/black stools
- metallic taste
- heartburn
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.
