About Fericom-SF Tablet

FOLIC ACID+SODIUM FEREDETATE+VITAMIN B12 belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (during pregnancy). Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels.

FOLIC ACID+SODIUM FEREDETATE+VITAMIN B12 contains Sodium Feredetate, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). Sodium Feredetate acts as an iron source and aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is essential for the proper functioning and development of the blood cells, nerves, and brain.
