Precautions and warnings

Be careful when giving this to patients who could get too much iron, like those with haemochromatosis, haemolytic anaemia, or red cell aplasia. Iron can bind to tetracycline and make it harder for the body to absorb.

Contraindications

People who are allergic to any of the ingredients.

Mode of actions

Ferrous ascorbate is a man-made combination of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and iron. This combination forms a stable complex that does not separate when it enters the digestive system, thanks to the strong bond between iron and ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) helps move iron in the blood to be stored in body tissues and also improves how the body uses iron. It does this by acting as a reducing agent, which keeps iron in its easily absorbed form and may also directly help in making red blood cells. Because the complex doesn’t break apart in the stomach, it is not affected by foods that might otherwise block iron absorption. Ascorbic acid keeps the iron from oxidizing and helps maintain it in a form that the body can easily use.

Dosage & Administration

One capsule daily. In more severe cases, 2 capsules a day may be required or as directed by the physician.
