₹91.14
SWAS IRON (Ferrous Ascorbate eq. to elemental Iron 100 mg + Folic Acid IP 1.5 mg) is a nutritional supplement primarily used to treat iron deficiency anemia and folate deficiency, including during pregnancy. It works by replenishing the body’s stores of iron and folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells.
Key Ingredients & Their Functions
The supplement combines two essential nutrients that work together to improve blood health and address deficiencies.
- Ferrous Ascorbate: This form of iron is crucial for the synthesis of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. The ascorbate (Vitamin C) component helps enhance iron absorption. It is used to treat iron deficiency and associated symptoms like fatigue and weakness.
- Folic Acid (Vitamin B9): A vital B vitamin essential for cell growth and the formation of red blood cells. It is especially important during pregnancy to support the development of the unborn baby’s brain and spinal cord, helping prevent birth defects.
Common Uses
This combination medication is typically prescribed by a physician.
- Treatment of Anemia: It is widely used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia caused by poor diet, blood loss, or chronic illness.
- Nutritional Support: It provides essential nutrients for individuals with increased requirements, such as pregnant women or those recovering from surgery.
- Symptom Relief: It can help alleviate symptoms of anemia, including tiredness, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects are mostly gastrointestinal and typically do not require medical attention unless they persist or worsen.
- Constipation or diarrhea.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Stomach pain or abdominal discomfort.
- Dark-colored stools (this is a normal and expected effect of iron supplementation).
- Loss of appetite.
Important Considerations
- Absorption: Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach, but if it causes stomach upset, the supplement can be taken with or after food.
- Interactions: Avoid taking this supplement at the same time as milk, tea, or coffee, as these can reduce iron absorption. Wait at least 2 hours. Taking it with a Vitamin C source (like orange juice) can enhance iron absorption.
- Safety: Iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children, so the medication must be kept out of reach.
- Consult a Doctor: Always consult a healthcare professional before starting iron supplementation, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, to ensure proper dosage and avoid interactions.
