Benefits of Duofer Tablet
In Treatment of Anemia
Anemia is a condition where you do not have enough red blood cells to carry oxygen around your body. If you do not get enough elemental iron and folic acid from the food that you eat (because of poor nutrition or poor absorption of the mineral), your body will produce fewer red blood cells and that can lead to anemia.
Duofer-XT Tablet is a supplement of elemental iron and folic acid. Elemental iron replenishes the body with iron, and folic acid is used to treat or prevent low levels of folate in the body. Folate plays an essential role in the production of red blood cells. It boosts your RBC levels and reduces the symptoms of anemia, such as tiredness and weakness.
