Vitaferol 30 Capsules
Description:
Vitaferol 30 Capsules (Vitaferrol 30 soft gelatin caps) is an iron and multivitamin supplement formulated to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia and support healthy red blood cell formation. It combines ferrous fumarate with folic acid, vitamin b12, vitamin c, manganese, and zinc to maximize iron absorption and utilization, making it especially suitable for individuals with increased iron needs such as pregnant women, adolescents, and patients recovering from blood loss or illness. This product is classified as a dietary supplement and is not a substitute for a balanced diet or prescribed medications.

- Treatment of iron deficiency anemia and latent iron deficiency.
- Prophylaxis of iron deficiency anemia in individuals at risk, including during pregnancy and lactation (as advised by a physician).
- Anemia due to blood loss of various origins, such as heavy menstruation, hemorrhage, or surgical operations.
- Nutritional deficiency anemia due to inadequate dietary iron intake.
- Support during periods of rapid growth such as adolescence.
- Convalescence after illness, surgery, or prolonged bleeding where iron stores need replenishment.
- Support of hemoglobin synthesis and normal red blood cell formation.

Clinical Benefits:
- Provides a well-balanced iron formula using ferrous fumarate, which has a high content of elemental iron to effectively restore iron levels.
- Enhances red blood cell and hemoglobin formation through the combined action of iron, folic acid, and vitamin b12.
- Improves iron absorption with vitamin c, which helps maintain iron in the absorbable ferrous state in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Supports hemoglobin synthesis and overall blood health with essential trace elements manganese and zinc.
- Helps relieve common symptoms of iron deficiency such as fatigue, weakness, pallor, dizziness, and reduced physical performance (as part of a comprehensive treatment plan).
- Provides prophylactic support during periods of increased demand such as pregnancy, adolescence, and recovery from blood loss or surgery.
Warnings & Contraindications:
- Do not use Vitaferol if you are allergic to iron salts, folic acid, vitamin b12, vitamin c, manganese, zinc, or any of the capsule’s excipients.
- Contraindicated in conditions of iron overload such as hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, or in patients with anemia not caused by iron deficiency (e.g., hemolytic anemia) unless specifically prescribed by a physician.
- Use with caution in patients with peptic ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal strictures, or other serious gastrointestinal disorders; consult a doctor before use.
- Iron supplements may interfere with the absorption of certain medications (e.g., some antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, bisphosphonates). Take Vitaferol at least 2 hours apart from such medicines and seek medical or pharmacist advice.
