Feris Syrup belongs to a class of medications called haematinics. They are primarily used to treat anaemia (a condition in which the body lacks sufficient healthy red blood cells), which may occur due to a poor diet, poor nutrient absorption, or increased nutritional needs (such as during pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues.

Feris Syrup is a combination of two components: ferrous ascorbate (a source of iron) and folic acid (a form of vitamin B9). It works by increasing the production of red blood cells (RBCs) and haemoglobin (a protein in RBCs that carries oxygen) in the body. As a result, more RBCs are available to deliver sufficient oxygen to all body tissues.

Take Feris Syrup as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, constipation, or pyrosis (heartburn). Most of these side effects of Feris Syrup are mild and typically resolve over time without the need for medical attention. However, if they persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Feris Syrup is contraindicated in patients allergic to its ingredients and those with iron overload disorders or non–iron-deficiency anemia. Use caution in individuals with gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers or colitis, as iron may exacerbate these issues. Avoid use in young children without doctor advice. Folic acid can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, delaying diagnosis. Patients with liver or kidney impairment should consult a doctor before use. Always follow medical advice and suggested doses.

• Feris Syrup can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking this medication with milk, eggs, or calcium-rich foods, as they may reduce its absorption.
• It is usually taken 1-2 times daily or as recommended by your doctor.
• Shake the bottle well before each use.
• Take the recommended dose by mouth using the measuring cup/syringe/dropper provided with the pack.
• Avoid using regular household spoons, as they may not measure the dose correctly.

Feris Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ferrous ascorbate (iron supplement) and folic acid (a form of vitamin B9). Feris Syrup works by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBCs are produced in the body, so each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen. Also, folic acid is necessary in pregnancy as it plays a role in the development of the brain and spinal cord in the unborn baby.

Feris Syrup should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Use caution and always inform your doctor about any other medications, supplements, or health issues you may have before starting Feris Syrup to avoid potential side effects or interactions. Consult your healthcare provider before using Feris Syrup during pregnancy or breastfeeding to ensure safety. In children under 12 years of age, Feris Syrup should only be used under medical supervision. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and report any unusual symptoms immediately. Avoid consuming alcohol while using Feris Syrup , as it may increase the risk of side effects.
