About this product

Overview

Ironal-F Tablet combines two active ingredients: iron polymaltose complex and folic acid. Iron polymaltose complex is a form of iron supplement that facilitates iron absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and helps replenish iron stores in the body. Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient involved in red blood cell production and DNA synthesis. This combination is commonly prescribed to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia, particularly in individuals with additional folate deficiency.

Uses

Ironal-F Tablet is prescribed for the following purposes:

  • Treatment of iron deficiency anemia: Iron polymaltose complex supplements iron stores in the body, helping to correct iron deficiency and restore normal hemoglobin levels.
  • Prevention of neural tube defects: Folic acid supplementation is recommended during pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in newborns.
  • Alleviation of symptoms associated with iron deficiency: By replenishing iron stores and providing folic acid supplementation, Ironal-F Tablet helps alleviate symptoms of iron deficiency anemia, such as fatigue, weakness, and pallor.

While Ironal-F Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, inform your healthcare provider promptly.
