About Befer Drops

Befer Drops is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia, folic acid deficiency, and nutritional deficiencies in children. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Befer Drops is a combination of Elemental Iron and Folic acid. Elemental Iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate).

Befer Drops may cause certain common side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, and stomach upset. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor. Your paediatrician will decide the duration based on your child's medical condition.

Befer Drops is intended for paediatric use only. Avoid giving Befer Drops to your child if she/he is allergic to any of the components present in the formulation. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including their medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, let your paediatrician know about the complete medication history of your child, including OTC (over-the-counter) medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.
