About Tonoferon Syrup

Tonoferon Syrup is a nutritional supplement used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. It is also used to manage anaemia during pregnancy and lactation. Additionally, it helps in the management of general weakness, lack of appetite, convalescence, and other debilitated states. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Tonoferon Syrup contains Iron, Folic acid, and Cyanocobalamin. 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). Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and produces red blood cells.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Tonoferon Syrup based on your medical condition. In some cases, Tonoferon Syrup may cause side effects like vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach pain, and black stools. These side effects typically do not require medical attention and usually resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
