Indications
This tablet is prescribed for treating and preventing deficiencies in Folic Acid and Zinc.
Pharmacology
Our tablet formulation contains a specialized blend of Folic Acid and Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate. Zinc is an essential trace element vital for human nutrition, playing a crucial role in various enzymatic systems within the body. Severe Zinc deficiency may manifest in skin lesions, hair loss, digestive issues, increased susceptibility to infections, cognitive impairment, among other symptoms. Folic Acid, a member of the B-Vitamins group, is converted in the body to tetrahydrofolate, a coenzyme pivotal for numerous metabolic processes including DNA synthesis, as well as certain amino acid conversions. Folic Acid deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anemia, which may arise from inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption issues, increased utilization during pregnancy, conditions like hemolytic anemia, or due to the use of folate antagonists.
Dosage & Administration
It is recommended to take one tablet orally daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.
