About iForU Capsule
iForU Capsule is primarily used to treat iron deficiency and anaemia. Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (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.
iForU Capsule contains elemental iron, required by the red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. By combining with a protein in the blood called haemoglobin, iron helps carry adequate oxygen to various body parts.
In some cases, it may cause side effects like constipation, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, dark stools, loss of appetite, and upset stomach. Most of these side effects of iForU Capsule do not require any medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to iForU Capsule or its inactive components, please inform your doctor. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting iForU Capsule . Consult your doctor before taking iForU Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
