Folinz Tablet belongs to the class of 'dietary supplements', primarily used to treat nutritional deficiencies. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Folinz Tablet contains Zinc sulfate and Folic acid. Zinc sulfate is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. It is essential for vision, fighting against rhinoviruses (that cause the common cold), immune function, bone metabolism, taste, wound healing, insulin production, blood clotting, and thyroid function. Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B, treats folic acid deficiency and anaemia (lack of red blood cells). It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer.

Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. Folinz Tablet is likely safe to consume. Sometimes, it may have common side effects like abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and gastric irritation. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Folinz Tablet or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Please tell your doctor if you have malabsorption syndrome (difficulty absorbing nutrition from food), cancer, coronary stent, seizures (fits), tumour, kidney dysfunction and undergoing dialysis. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Folinz Tablet . Avoid consuming alcohol along with Folinz Tablet to ensure maximum absorption of nutrients. Folinz Tablet should be used in children only when the doctor has advised.

Folinz Tablet contains Zinc sulfate and Folic acid. Zinc sulfate is a mineral that promotes the growth and development of body tissues. It is essential for vision, fighting against rhinoviruses (that cause the common cold), immune function, bone metabolism, taste, wound healing, insulin production, blood clotting, and thyroid function. It treats zinc deficiency, acute diarrhoea in children, slow wound healing, and Wilson's disease (a genetic disorder causing copper build-up in the body). Folic acid, a form of Vitamin B,  is used to treat pernicious, aplastic, or normocytic anaemia (lack of red blood cells), low blood levels of folate (folate deficiency), and high blood levels of an amino acid, homocysteine (hyperhomocysteinemia). It helps in the formation of red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Folic acid also prevents miscarriage and neural tube defects in infants when used by pregnant women.

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 is lesser than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Zinc deficiency: When your body doesn't have adequate mineral levels called zinc, it leads to zinc deficiency. It causes hair loss, diarrhoea, delayed sexual maturation, impotence, hypogonadism (sex glands produce little or no sex hormones) in males, and eye and skin lesions.

Folate deficiency: Folate deficiency occurs when your body won't have enough folate in your diet. Symptoms include fatigue, grey hair, mouth sores, tongue swelling, and growth problems. Folate deficiency leads to anaemia.

Anaemia: It is a condition associated with a decrease in the red blood cells (RBCs) count or haemoglobin in the blood, or a lowered ability to carry oxygen. Symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, dizziness and fast heartbeat.
