Each capsule contains approximately 300–400 micro-pellets with an enteric (gastro-resistant) coating.
• The pellets pass intact through the stomach.
• Iron is released in the duodenum, where absorption is optimal.
• Designed to improve tolerability and iron uptake.

Indications / Uses

Indicated for:

• Iron deficiency (with or without anemia)

If swallowing is difficult, the capsule may be opened and pellets taken with water (do not chew).

Duration of treatment:
Typically 3–6 months or longer, continuing after normalization of hemoglobin to restore iron stores.
