About Prosfer Plus Tablet

Prosfer Plus Tablet is primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels.

Prosfer Plus Tablet contains Elemental iron, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12. Elemental iron is an essential mineral that aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Vitamin B12 helps in the proper functioning of the brain, nerves, and the production of red blood cells. 

In some cases, Prosfer Plus Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, stomach upset, and constipation. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting Prosfer Plus Tablet . Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Prosfer Plus Tablet .
