Description
IREX Tablet
Irex Tablet 15’s belongs to a class of ‘nutritional supplements,’ primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (during pregnancy).
Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels.
Irex Tablet 15’s contains Sodium Feredetate, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). Sodium Feredetate acts as an iron source and 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 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is essential for the proper functioning and development of the blood cells, nerves, and brain.
Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Tablet 15’s may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach upset, and confusion.
