Ferrocres XT Tablet is used to manage and prevent iron and vitamin B9 deficiency. It also helps maintain the proper supply of oxygen throughout the body by aiding the production of red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets which are known to play a key role in oxygen supply. It is used for managing iron-deficiency anaemia, which can occur due to chronic blood loss or inadequate intake of iron. It is also recommended to fulfil the body's iron requirement and prevent anaemia during pregnancy and lactation. Iron (ferrous ascorbate) and folic acid (vitamin B9) are the main ingredients. As this tablet contains iron in the form of ferrous ascorbate, it helps in the quick absorption of folic acid. It is essential to numerous bodily functions in children and adults as it is required to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anaemia. The syrup is commonly prescribed to manage anaemia caused due to deficiency of folic acid. This tablet is generally safe and has little or no side effects. However, if you take any other medications or diet supplements, you should inform your doctor to avoid drug interaction.
