Ferro-Forte Syrup

Syrup

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).

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.

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.

Nausea, stomach upset, constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dark/black stools, metallic taste, vomiting

Do not use in iron overload conditions (hemochromatosis/hemosiderosis) or non–iron-deficiency anemia unless advised by a doctor. Keep out of reach of children—accidental iron overdose can be dangerous. Use with caution in peptic ulcer disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or history of intolerance to iron. If severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, allergic reaction, or signs of overdose occur, seek urgent medical help.

Antacids, calcium supplements, milk products, tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline), fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin/levofloxacin), levothyroxine, bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate), penicillamine, methyldopa—separate dosing by 2–4 hours; vitamin C may increase iron absorption

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Keep the bottle tightly closed. Do not freeze.
