Description
Tonoferon Syrup
Tonoferon Syrup 200 ml belongs to a class of medications called ‘haematinics‘ primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of iron and haemoglobin).
Deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food, or increased folate use in the body (in pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.
Tonoferon Syrup 200 ml is a combination drug containing Iron, Folic acid (haematinics combination) and Cyanocobalamin, primarily used to treat anemia. Iron is an important mineral in the body required by red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues.
