About Livogen Baby Drops

Livogen Baby Drops is 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 adequate oxygen to various body tissues.

Livogen Baby Drops contains 'Iron,' which is required by the red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. It improves the quality of blood by increasing levels of haemoglobin (blood protein) and red blood cells.

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 gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Livogen Baby Drops 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 like hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting Livogen Baby Drops.
