About Sayfer Syrup Orange

Sayfer Syrup Orange 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.

Sayfer Syrup Orange 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, Sayfer Syrup Orange 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 Sayfer Syrup Orange, 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 Sayfer Syrup Orange if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Sayfer Syrup Orange. Sayfer Syrup Orange should be given to children only when advised by the doctor.

It prevents and treats anaemia and folate deficiency. 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake exceeds the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems, such as a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Iron deficiency Anemia is a condition caused by low iron levels in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues. If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the main protein in red blood cells and carries oxygen throughout the body. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, fast heartbeat, brittle nails, and pale skin.
