Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Orofer Xt tablet contains Ferrous Ascorbate, Folic Acid, Methylcobalamin and Zinc as active ingredients. It is used for the treatment of Iron deficiency anemia, and anemia caused due to folic acid deficiency, poor diet, poor absorption of food, or in increased requirement of folate in the body during pregnancy and lactation.
Its intake not only improves the hemoglobin content in blood and correcting anemia, but also improves general condition of your health.
Nausea, Constipation, Dark colored stool, Allergic reaction, Bitter taste in the mouth and Sleeping disturbances are some of the symptoms that could be associated with its intake. However, these side effects are possible, but do not always occur.
Kindly take the medication as has been prescribed by your doctor and do the necessary follow-up as suggested.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you good health.
