Ferate Tablet belongs to the group of anti-anaemic medicines used to treat iron deficiency anaemia (anaemia caused by too little iron in the body). Ferate Tablet does not cause teeth discolouration and is less likely to cause stomach upset than other iron-containing medicines. Anaemia is when the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
Ferate Tablet contains ‘Sodium Feredetate’, which acts as a source of iron and helps transport oxygen throughout the body and produce red blood cells. Thus, Ferate Tablet helps treat anaemia.
