About Prosfer Plus Tablet

Prosfer Plus Tablet belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anaemia 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 is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Prosfer Plus Tablet contains Elemental iron, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12. Elemental iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Vitamin B12 helps in the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and the production of red blood cells.
