About Ferrochelate XT Syrup
Ferrochelate XT Syrup belongs to a class of medications called haematinics, primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin). Iron or folic acid deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor food absorption, or increased folate use in the body (in pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
Ferrochelate XT Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Elemental Iron and Folic acid. Elemental iron helps transport oxygen throughout the body and produce red blood cells. Folic acid works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body. Together, Ferrochelate XT Syrup helps treat anaemia.
You are advised to take Ferrochelate XT Syrup for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may sometimes experience nausea, constipation, stomach upset, pyrosis (burning sensation in the chest), and black or tarry stools. Most of these side effects of Ferrochelate XT Syrup do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not take Ferrochelate XT Syrup if you are allergic to iron, folic acid, or any of the ingredients of Ferrochelate XT Syrup . Do not start taking any new medication without telling your doctor. Ferrochelate XT Syrup is generally safe to consume during pregnancy. Let your doctor know if you are a nursing mother before starting Ferrochelate XT Syrup . This supplement should be given to a child under 12 years of age only if advised by the doctor.
Uses of Ferrochelate XT Syrup
Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Ferrochelate XT Syrup is primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of red blood cells and haemoglobin). The body's demand for iron and folic acid increases during pregnancy. Therefore, Ferrochelate XT Syrup acts as a pregnancy supplement. It also helps the body produce and maintain new cells, preventing the DNA from mutating, which can lead to cancer. Ferrochelate XT Syrup contains Elemental Iron and Folic acid (haematinics combination), which boost the body's production of red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin. Thus, using Ferrochelate XT Syrup is associated with a reduced risk of iron deficiency and anaemia, especially in pregnant women.

Ferrochelate XT Syrup belongs to a class of medications called 'haematinics,' primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin).
Ferrochelate XT Syrup is a combination of two drugs, namely: Elemental Iron and Folic acid. Elemental iron helps with the transportation of oxygen throughout the body and the production of red blood cells. Folic acid works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body. Together, Ferrochelate XT Syrup helps treat anaemia.
Folic acid requirements are usually met from the diet, but additional supplements are required in cases of deficiency. Ferrochelate XT Syrup is advised to pregnant women who want to conceive as folate utilization is increased in pregnancy. It is generally given at least 4 weeks before pregnancy and is continued up to 3 months of pregnancy.
It is recommended not to take Ferrochelate XT Syrup with tea, coffee, milk, or eggs, as the body may absorb less iron from supplements if they are taken together, which may reduce the effectiveness of Ferrochelate XT Syrup .
Ferrochelate XT Syrup is best absorbed if taken on an empty stomach. However, in some patients, it can cause an upset stomach if taken on an empty stomach. So, please follow your doctor's suggestion if you have an upset stomach.
If you are pregnant, it is necessary to maintain the right levels of folic acid to reduce the risk of neural tube defects as the baby's central nervous system develops. So, to avoid any defect, it is necessary to take it for the first three months as the neural tube is formed completely by this time.
Foods rich in folic acid and iron include leafy green vegetables like spinach, beans, nuts, peas, seafood, and citrus fruits like oranges.
Ferrochelate XT Syrup may cause side effects such as nausea, constipation, stomach upset, pyrosis (burning sensation in the chest), and black or tarry stools. Most of these side effects of Ferrochelate XT Syrup do not require medical attention and typically resolve on their own over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Medicines used to treat indigestion, such as antacids, those used to treat bone problems, like bisphosphonates, and those used to treat bacterial infections, like Chloramphenicol, should be taken with a minimum gap of two hours. If you are taking medicines like Sulfasalazine (used to treat ulcers), Phenytoin (used to treat epilepsy), and Methotrexate (used to treat cancer), consult your doctor.
In case of folic acid deficiency, it is possible to get anaemia, ulcers in the mouth, diarrhoea and flatulence. In severe cases, it can result in infertility.
