SEROFER SYRUP 120ML

Serofer Syrup 120ml contains ferrous bisglycinate, which is a form of iron supplement. It is formulated as a syrup for oral administration. Ferrousbisglycinate is a highly bioavailable and gentle form of iron that helps in the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency.

Uses:

1. Iron Deficiency Anemia: Seroferr Syrup is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Iron is an essential mineral required for the production of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. This syrup helps replenish iron stores and improves the production of healthy red blood cells.
2. Nutritional Deficiencies: Seroferr Syrup may be used as a nutritional supplement to address iron deficiencies resulting from inadequate dietary intake, poor absorption, increased iron requirements (such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding), or specific medical conditions.

Side Effects:

1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal side effects while taking Seroferr Syrup, including nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea. Taking the syrup with food or dividing the dosage throughout the day can help minimize these symptoms.
2. Staining of Teeth: Prolonged use of iron supplements, including ferrous bisglycinate, may cause tooth staining. Proper oral hygiene practices, such as brushing teeth after taking the syrup, can help reduce the risk of staining.
3. Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, individuals may experience allergic reactions to ferrous bisglycinate. Signs of an allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, or difficulty breathing. Immediate medical attention should be sought if any allergic symptoms occur.

When Not to Use:

1. Iron Overload: Seroferr Syrup should not be used in individuals with known iron overload disorders, such as hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis, as it can worsen the condition.
2. Allergy or Sensitivity: Individuals with a known allergy or sensitivity to ferrous bisglycinate or any components of Seroferr Syrup should not use this product.
3. Active Infections: It is advisable to avoid using iron supplements during active infections, particularly those caused by bacteria, as iron can promote bacterial growth.
4. Existing Iron Levels: Seroferr Syrup should not be used in individuals with normal iron levels. Excessive iron supplementation in individuals without iron deficiency can lead to iron overload and potential complications.
5. Medication Interactions: Seroferr Syrup may interact with certain medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, and thyroid medications. It is important to consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist regarding potential interactions with specific medications.
