About Iroglis Syrup

Iroglis Syrup belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body cannot absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Iroglis Syrup contains Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin), and Zinc. Iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and transporting oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the production of red blood cells. Zinc is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. In some cases, Iroglis Syrup may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach upset. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Before starting Iroglis Syrup, brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis and hemosiderosis, or intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis). It is essential to seek medical advice before starting Iroglis Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Iroglis Syrup. Iroglis Syrup should be given to children only when advised by the doctor.
