About Hemfer Capsule

Hemfer Capsule is used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency anaemia, iron deficiency due to low intake of iron, or iron/nutritional deficiency that occurs during pregnancy and lactation. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Hemfer Capsule is a combination of Iron, Folic acid, cyanocobalamin, and zinc oxide. Iron helps in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body. Folic acid is necessary for various bodily functions. Cyanocobalamin helps in the proper functioning of the brain nerves and the production of red blood cells. Zinc oxide helps in the growth and development of body tissues.

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, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Do not use Hemfer Capsule if you are allergic to any of the components present in it. Hemfer Capsule can be taken by pregnant and breastfeeding women only if the doctor advises. Hemfer Capsule should not be given to children unless advised by a doctor. It is unknown if alcohol interacts with Hemfer Capsule , so please consult a doctor.

Uses of Hemfer Capsule

Hemfer Capsule is used in the treatment and prevention of various nutritional deficiencies. The detailed uses of Hemfer Capsule are as follows:

  • Iron Deficiency: Hemfer Capsule helps boost the production of haemoglobin by increasing iron levels in the body, thereby treating iron deficiency anaemia.
  • Folic Acid Deficiency: Hemfer Capsule helps increase folate levels in the body, which promotes the formation of healthy red blood cells (RBCs), helps manage anaemia, and reduces the risk of neural tube defects during pregnancy.
  • Vitamin B12 Deficiency: Hemfer Capsule increases vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) levels, which are essential for RBC formation, nerve function, improving cellular energy, and preventing or treating anaemia.
  • Zinc Deficiency: Hemfer Capsule helps restore zinc levels in the body, which plays a vital role in the development and growth of healthy body tissues and the proper functioning of the immune system.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies During Pregnancy and Lactation: Hemfer Capsule is used as a supplement during pregnancy and lactation to maintain adequate vitamin and mineral levels, which helps support fetal development and milk production.
  • General Nutritional Support: Hemfer Capsule can help replenish essential vitamins and minerals in individuals with poor dietary intake, reduced absorption, or increased nutritional needs.

How Hemfer Capsule Works

Hemfer Capsule is a combination of four essential nutrients: Iron, Zinc, Folic Acid, and Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12). Iron supports the formation of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen throughout the body. Zinc plays a key role in immune function, wound healing, and cellular growth. Folic Acid is vital for DNA synthesis, cell division, and the metabolism of homocysteine. Cyanocobalamin contributes to healthy nerve function and red blood cell production. Together, these nutrients help prevent and manage nutritional deficiencies, particularly those related to anemia and general health.
