Dulefer Sachets
Description:
Dulefer Sachets are an oral iron-support supplement containing lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein that helps improve iron absorption and support healthy iron levels in the body. Each sachet provides 100 mg of lactoferrin, making it suitable as an adjunct in the management of iron deficiency and for supporting immune function. Dulefer is classified as a supplement and is typically used under medical supervision for patients with low iron, increased iron demand, or difficulty tolerating traditional iron salts.
Indications:
- Adjunctive support in iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, as assessed by a healthcare professional.
- Support for individuals with increased iron requirements (e.g., adolescents, women of childbearing age, periods of rapid growth), as advised by a doctor.
- Support for patients who are intolerant to or poorly compliant with conventional oral iron salts (e.g., due to gastrointestinal discomfort), when recommended by a physician.
- General support for immune function and antioxidant protection associated with lactoferrin, under professional guidance.
Active Ingredients / Key Components:
- Lactoferrin – 100 mg per sachet
- Other excipients: flavoring agents, sweeteners, and stabilizers (exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website).
Dosage & Administration / How to Use:
- Recommended dose for adults (unless otherwise directed by a physician): 1 sachet twice daily.
- Administration: Dissolve the contents of 1 sachet in approximately a quarter glass of water, stir well until completely dispersed, and drink immediately.
- Timing: Take twice daily before meals, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Duration of use: Follow your doctor’s instructions. Treatment duration may vary depending on the severity of iron deficiency and response to therapy.

Clinical Benefits:
