Iron is one of the most abundant metals in the universe. It is also
one of the most useful component in biochemical functions. In the
human body, Iron is present in all cells and has several vital
functions- as a career of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the
form of hemoglobin (Hb), as a facilitator of oxygen use and storage
in the muscles as myoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons
within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part
of enzyme reactions in various tissues . Carbonyl Iron is the safest
form of supplemental iron available, with reduced risk of harm in
the event of an accidental overdose. Additionally, carbonyl iron is
gentle on the stomach.
Zinc deficient cells fail to divide and differentiate, with consequent
growth impairment, tissues with a high rate of cellular turnover
including skin, gastrointestinal mucosa, chondrocytes,
spermatogonia, and thymocyte are affected. Systems influenced by
Zinc include the reproductive, neurological, immunological,
dermatological and gastrointestinal system.
Folic acid is a member of vitamin B group. Folic acid is reduced in
the body to tetrahydrofolate, which is a co-enzyme for various
metabolic processes including the synthesis of purine and
pyrimidine nucleotides, and hence in the synthesis of DNA; it is
also involved in some amino acid conversions, and in the formation
and utilization of formate.

It is indicated for the treatment and prophylaxis of Iron, Folic acid &
Zinc deficiency, specially during pregnancy and lactation.

One capsule daily throughout the pregnancy and lactation or as
directed by the physician.

Hypersensitivity to any components of the product

Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious
anemia, in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological
menifestations remain progressive. Care should be taken in patients
who may develop iron overload, such as those with
hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia or red cell aplasia.

Use of any drug during the first trimester of pregnancy should be
avoided if possible. Thus administration of iron during the first
trimester requires definite evidence of iron deficiency. Prophylaxis
of iron deficiency, where inadequate diet calls for supplementary
Zinc and Folic acid, is justified during the remainder of pregnancy.

Iron and Zinc chelates with tetracyclines and absorption of all three
agents may be impaired. The absorption of iron may also be
reduced by Antacid and Penicillin.

Black discoloration of stool is usual during iron therapy. Nausea
and other symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation such as anorexia,
vomiting, discomfort may occur.

Each pellet capsule contains Carbonyl Iron Ph. Grade 51 mg
(Equivalent to 50 mg elemental Iron), Folic Acid BP 0.5 mg & Zinc
Sulphate BP 61.8 mg (Equivalent to 22.5 mg elemental Zinc).

5 x 10\'s capsules in blister pack.

Keep in cool and dry place.
