About IROXY-150MG SOFTGEL CAPSULES
IROXY-150MG SOFTGEL CAPSULES belongs to a class of 'haematinics,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency and anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin). 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 the adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.
IROXY-150MG SOFTGEL CAPSULES contains Iron Polysaccharide (a form of Iron), an essential body mineral and nutritional supplement required for the formation of red blood cells, which 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.
