About Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml

Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml is used to treat iron deficiency and anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin). Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (during pregnancy). 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.

Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml contains 'Iron,' an essential body mineral. It is a nutritional supplement required by the red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Combined with a protein in the blood called haemoglobin, iron helps carry adequate oxygen to various body parts. It improves the quality of blood by increasing levels of haemoglobin (blood protein) and red blood cells. Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml also has immunity-enhancing, anti-carcinogenic (preventing cancer), and cognition-enhancing properties.

This medicine will be administered by a healthcare professional. Your doctor will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. In some cases, it may cause side effects like muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, taste changes, diarrhoea, constipation, headache, cough, back pain, flu symptoms, joint pain, and dizziness. Most of these side effects of Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before using Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml. This medicine may cause dizziness, hence drive or operate machinery with caution. Anofer S 100 Injection 5 ml is recommended in children above two years of age when prescribed by the doctor.
