Feretate Tablet 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.
Feretate Tablet 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.
Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Feretate Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach upset, and confusion. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting Feretate Tablet. It is essential to seek medical advice before starting Feretate Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor if you have any concerns. Feretate Tablet should be given to children only when advised by the doctor.

Iron deficiency anaemia: It is a condition caused due to low iron levels in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues. If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main protein in the red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Anaemia can be temporary, which can be treated with the help of supplements. Sometimes, it can also be long-term, which might require medical procedures to treat. It makes you feel tired very quickly due to a lack of oxygen supply in the body. It is one of the most common blood disorders. Anaemia symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, brittle nails, and pale skin.
