About Fdson Tablet

Fdson Tablet is used to treat or prevent anaemia (lack of blood) caused by a deficiency of folic acid, anaemia in pregnancy, anaemia due to damaged red blood cells, anaemia in kidney dialysis patients and anaemia that occurs as a side effect of certain medicines. Fdson Tablet may be used in women before and during pregnancy to prevent spina bifida (abnormality of the spine) in babies. Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry the adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.

The Fdson Tablet contains Folic acid (a form of vitamin B9) that increases healthy red blood cell (RBC) production in the body and carries oxygen throughout the body. As a result, an adequate amount of haemoglobin (Hb) is produced in the body so that body's each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen.

Most of these side effects of Fdson Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
