Feglo-FZ Tablet | (Ferrous Ascorbate + Folic Acid + Zinc)
- Prophylaxis and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, particularly when dietary intake is insufficient.
- Recommended during pregnancy and lactation, where supplementary iron and zinc are essential.
- Helpful in anemia associated with nutritional deficiencies.
Acute iron toxicity may cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tarry stools, hematemesis, hypotension, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, dehydration, drowsiness, pallor, cyanosis, seizures, shock, or coma.
Emergency supportive measures are required.
Ferrous Ascorbate: A stable complex of iron and vitamin C that prevents oxidation and maintains iron in the soluble ferrous form. It enhances absorption and utilization of iron, supporting hemoglobin synthesis and erythropoiesis. Unlike conventional iron salts, this complex resists dissociation in the GI tract, reducing the impact of dietary inhibitors.
Folic Acid: Essential for nucleoprotein synthesis and normal erythropoiesis. It is converted to tetrahydrofolic acid in the body and plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and neural tube defect prevention during pregnancy.
Zinc: A trace element and cofactor in numerous enzymes. It contributes to DNA synthesis, immune system function, insulin activity, wound healing, and sensory functions (taste and smell).
Together, this combination replenishes iron stores, promotes red blood cell formation, enhances oxygen transport, and improves overall nutritional balance.
