Product Description

Product Name: Herbiotics Iroplex (For Iron Deficiency Anemia) Tablets

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 30s

Manufactured By: Herbiotics Pharmaceuticals

Used For:

 Iroplex is used for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia, a condition in which the body lacks enough healthy red blood cells due to insufficient iron. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. This supplement may be prescribed in cases such as:

• Iron deficiency anemia due to blood loss
• Increased iron requirements during pregnancy
• Poor dietary intake of iron
• Post-surgery or recovery from illness

Side Effects:

Common side effects may include:

• Constipation
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Dark-colored stools (a harmless side effect of iron)
• Diarrhea
• Stomach cramps

Rare but serious side effects include:

• Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing)
• Iron overload (especially with long-term use or in patients with certain conditions like hemochromatosis)

Precautions:

• Stomach Sensitivity: If you experience significant gastrointestinal discomfort, taking Iroplex with food may help, but it may slightly reduce iron absorption.
• Allergies: Inform your healthcare provider if you are allergic to iron supplements or any other ingredients in the product.
• Chronic Conditions: Use caution if you have conditions such as hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia, or any other conditions where iron overload may be a concern.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor before using Iroplex if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as iron requirements are typically higher during these periods.
• Drug Interactions: Iron supplements can interfere with the absorption of certain medications (e.g., antibiotics like tetracyclines and antacids), so be sure to inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking.

Follow the prescribed dosage, as excessive iron intake can lead to toxicity. It's important to avoid self-medicating with iron supplements without consulting a healthcare provider. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor for further evaluation.
