FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE belongs to the group of medicines called nutritional supplements used to treat and prevent nutritional deficiencies and iron deficiency anaemia. A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE contains ferrous sulphate, folic acid, cyanocobalamin, pyridoxine hydrochloride, and nicotinamide. Ferrous sulphate acts as a source of iron which helps in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body and the production of red blood cells. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents DNA changes that may lead to cancer. Cyanocobalamin and pyridoxine hydrochloride regulate body functions such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. Nicotinamide plays a vital role in converting food into usable energy and helps the body’s cells carry out important chemical reactions. Together, FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE helps treat nutritional deficiencies.
Take FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE as prescribed. You are advised to take FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as stomach upset, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Let your doctor know if you use prescription, non-prescription drugs, or herbal products before starting FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE.

It is unknown if alcohol interacts with FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE, so please consult a doctor.
Nutritional deficiency, Iron-deficiency anaemia
FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE is a combination of five supplements: Ferrous sulphate, Folic acid, Cyanocobalamin, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, and Nicotinamide. Ferrous sulphate (elemental iron) is required by the body to synthesise red blood cells and transportation of oxygen. Folic acid is a synthetic version of folate that aids in the creation of red blood cells as well as the prevention of DNA alterations that may lead to cancer. Cyanocobalamin and Pyridoxine Hydrochloride controls bodily functions such as cell division, blood production, and protein synthesis. Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) is essential for turning food into usable energy and assists the body's cells in carrying out critical chemical reactions. Together, FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE helps treat nutritional deficiencies.
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients in FERROUS SULPHATE+FOLIC ACID+CYANOCOBALAMIN+PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE+NICOTINAMIDE, do not consume it.

Nutritional deficiencies: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. Vitamins and minerals are necessary for body development and the prevention of diseases. Sometimes your body is unable to absorb many nutrients even if you are consuming them. Nutrient deficiency can lead to many health problems like a weakened immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.
Iron deficiency anaemia: It is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues. Anaemia can be temporary, which can be treated with the help of supplements, and it can also be long-term, which might require medical procedures. It makes you feel tired very quickly due to a lack of oxygen supply in the body. It is one of the most common blood disorders.
