Product Description
This medicine contains two active ingredients, dried ferrous sulphate and folic acid. Ferrous sulphate is a form of iron and folic acid is a member of the B group of vitamins. Both iron and folic acid are needed by the body for the formation of red blood cells. If the body does not receive adequate amounts of these nutrients, anaemia can develop. During pregnancy the daily requirement for both iron and folic acid increases. This is because the mother must increase her production of red blood cells to supply the foetus and, in addition, the foetus and placenta need their own supply of iron, which can only be obtained from the mother. If a pregnant woman doesn't increase her iron and folic acid intake, either through her diet or by taking supplements, she may become anaemic. This iron and folic acid supplement is designed for use by pregnant women who are at high risk of developing iron and folic acid deficiency during pregnancy. This may include women carrying twins or triplets and women who have had pregnancies close together. The supplement will also correct mild iron deficiency anaemia if this has already developed before the supplements are started. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether you need to take an iron and folic acid supplement.
