About Vitcofol Syrup
Vitcofol Syrup is used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency, anaemia, and folic acid deficiency. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body fails to absorb or obtain sufficient nutrients from food.
Vitcofol Syrup is a combination of ferrous fumarate, folic acid, and cyanocobalamin. Ferrous Fumarate helps transport oxygen throughout the body and aids in the production of red blood cells. Folic acid is necessary for various bodily functions. Cyanocobalamin is essential for growth, cell production, protein and tissue synthesis.
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as stomach upset, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
