About Fecontin-Z Tablet

Fecontin-Z Tablet 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). 

Fecontin-Z Tablet 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 Fecontin-Z Tablet 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 Fecontin-Z Tablet to avoid any complications. Also, mention all the other medications you are taking to affect the way Fecontin-Z Tablet works. During pregnancy, Fecontin-Z Tablet should only be used if advised by the doctor.

Health Queries

I am in my pregnancy after the first trimester and want to take iron and calcium tablets. Which supplements are safe and suitable for me?

Vikas Singh

Iron and calcium in pregnancy after the first trimester are needed to support your baby?s growth and prevent weakness or low levels. Take them only as advised; a doctor may suggest suitable iron and calcium tablets based on your needs, and keep a few hours between them for better absorption. Include foods like green vegetables, fruits, milk, and nuts to support these nutrients, and drink enough water to avoid constipation from iron. Try to take iron with vitamin C-rich foods like citrus fruits to improve absorption. If you notice stomach upset, severe constipation, or discomfort, it needs attention. Consult your doctor to choose the right supplements and doses for you.

I had an abortion at 3.5 months, and now I am feeling very weak. Which medicine can help me recover my strength?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Weakness after an abortion at this stage is usually due to blood loss, low iron levels, and the body's recovery from the procedure. Focus on nourishing foods like green vegetables, fruits, jaggery, dates, eggs, and protein-rich meals to rebuild strength, and drink enough fluids to stay hydrated. Take proper rest and avoid heavy work for some time so your body can heal, and keep a regular meal routine to support energy levels. A doctor may advise iron, vitamins, or other supplements based on your condition. Pay attention to symptoms like ongoing heavy bleeding, dizziness, or palpitations. Consult a doctor to assess your recovery and guide you on the right support to regain strength.
