About Socril Capsule

Socril Capsule is a health supplement used to treat anaemia (lack of blood) due to iron deficiency and chronic kidney disease. It is also used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia during pregnancy.

Socril Capsule contains Folic acid, Ferric pyrophosphate and Glycine. Ferric pyrophosphate and folic acid work by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. Glycine is used to synthesise proteins in the body.

In some cases, you may experience headaches, nausea, stomach upset or dark-coloured stool. Most of these side effects of Socril Capsule do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Socril Capsule or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Consult a doctor before using Socril Capsule if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Socril Capsule should be used with caution in children and only if recommended by a doctor.

How Socril Capsule Works

Socril Capsule is a combination of three drugs, namely: Folic acid (a form of vitamin B9), Ferric pyrophosphate (iron supplement) and Glycine (amino acid). Ferric pyrophosphate and folic acid work by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBCs are produced in the body, so each tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen. Glycine is an amino acid used to synthesise proteins in the body.
