About Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML

Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML belongs to a class of 'haematinics,' primarily 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 for carrying the adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.

Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML contains 'Elemental 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. By combining 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. Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML also has immunity-enhancing, anti-carcinogenic (preventing cancer), and cognition-enhancing properties.

Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML 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 Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML 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 Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult the doctor before using Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML. This medicine may cause dizziness, hence drive or operate machinery with caution. Nutraferon I TEN 100MG INJECTION 5ML is recommended in children above two years of age when prescribed by the doctor.
