LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON

About

LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON belongs to the group of medicines called nutritional supplements primarily indicated for managing iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia is caused by a lack of iron, often due to blood loss or pregnancy. Symptoms can include tiredness, lack of energy, shortness of breath, and pale skin. 

LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON contains Lactoferrin, disodium guanosine-5-monophosphate, and elemental iron.
