Medicine details
- CATEGORY OF FERRO-FOL CAPSULES:
- • Vitamins & Food Supplement
- MECHANISM OF ACTION OF IRON & FOLIC ACID IN ANEMIA:
- • Iron is a critical component of the body.
- • Its primary role is to store and transport iron (as myoglobin and hemoglobin) throughout the body.
- • In an iron-deficient state, hemoglobin cannot be synthesized, with resultant microcytic anemia due to the formation of small erythrocytes
- • Thus iron supplements could be used in cases of Iron deficiency anemia
- • Folate-deficiency anemia is the lack of folic acid in the blood. Folic acid is a B vitamin that helps your body make red blood cells.
- ADVICE TO AVOID IRON DEFICIENCY & ANEMIA:
- • Eating more foods that contain iron. Good sources of iron include meat, fish, eggs, beans, and peas
- • Eating more foods with vitamin C. Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron. Good sources of vitamin C include oranges, broccoli, and tomatoes. Vitamin C is present in many supplements like C-Ronz Vitamin C
- • Avoid drinking coffee or tea with meals. These drinks make it harder for your body to absorb iron.
- • Be aware that anemia has different types & treatment sometimes may require Folic acid or Vitamin B complex so always check your lab values and ask your physician
- NORMAL RANGE:
- • According toMount Sinai New York
- • The normal value of Iron is: 60 to 170 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL), or 10.74 to 30.43 micromoles per liter (micromol/L)
- • Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your test results.
