About FFZ Tablet 15's

FFZ Tablet 15's is primarily used to prevent and treat the low levels of folic acid, zinc, and iron in the blood during certain health conditions. Anaemia is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (an iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body).

FFZ Tablet 15's contains Iron, Zinc, and Folic acid. Iron is a necessary mineral in the body needed by red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Zinc is needed by the body's immune (defence) system to carry out its functions. Folic acid is a vitamin B that helps the body make more red blood cells and helps the red blood cells carry out more oxygenated blood to other tissues of the body.

The most common side effects of FFZ Tablet 15's are diarrhoea, constipation, and upset stomach. These undesirable effects are temporary and will disappear as the body adjusts to the medicine. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

If you have or ever had stomach/intestinal problems (e.g., ulcers, colitis), use/abuse of alcohol, or vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anaemia), please inform your doctor before taking FFZ Tablet 15's to avoid any complications. Also, mention all the other medications you are taking to affect the way FFZ Tablet 15's works. During pregnancy, FFZ Tablet 15's should only be used if advised by the doctor.
