Syrup of Iron and Folic Acid in a flavoured Base
Oral Iron and Folic Acid Formulations (Ferrous Ascorbate 100mg, Carbonyl Iron 50mg/100mg, Ferrous Asparto Glycinate with Folic Acid 1.5mg, L-Methylfolate, Zinc, and Vitamin B12) is an evidence-based hematinic on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Ferrous ascorbate combines synthetic ascorbic acid (vitamin C) with divalent iron (Fe2+), maintaining iron in its soluble, highly absorbable ferrous state across duodenal pH and dramatically enhancing bioavailability while minimizing gastric mucosal irritation. Carbonyl iron provides ultra-pure elemental iron with delayed gastric acid dissolution, virtually eliminating nausea and toxicity. Folic acid and B12 support DNA synthesis and normoblastic erythropoiesis. Indicated for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, nutritional deficiency in pregnancy and lactation, and chronic menorrhagia.
