Ferrous Ascorbate Tablets
Ferrous ascorbate tablets are a medication commonly used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia. Here’s some important information about ferrous ascorbate tablets:
Composition: Ferrous ascorbate tablets contain two main ingredients:
Ferrous iron: This is a form of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. It helps to replenish iron stores and increase hemoglobin levels in individuals with iron deficiency anemia.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C): Ascorbic acid enhances the absorption of iron in the intestines. It helps convert ferric iron into ferrous iron, which is more readily absorbed by the body.
Indications: Ferrous ascorbate tablets are primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia, which occurs when the body lacks a sufficient amount of iron to produce hemoglobin. Iron deficiency anemia can result from various factors, including inadequate dietary intake of iron, poor absorption of iron from the diet, blood loss (such as from menstruation or gastrointestinal bleeding), or increased iron requirements (such as during pregnancy or breastfeeding).
