Therofer XT Tablet is a combination of two nutritional supplements: ferrous ascorbate and folic acid. Folic acid is a form of vitamin B. It plays a vital role in the formation of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body. Ferrous ascorbate acts as a catalyst in various biochemical reactions in our body, facilitates the transport and utilization of oxygen, and helps in cell growth and proliferation. This improves the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Therofer XT Tablet take to work?

Therofer XT Tablet usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. If you are taking it for iron deficiency anemia, you may start feeling better after a few weeks of taking it. In case you are taking it during pregnancy, you may not notice any difference, but this does not mean that the dose is not working. Continue taking Therofer XT Tablet for the duration recommended by your doctor.

Can Therofer XT Tablet cause weight gain?

Animal studies on Therofer XT Tablet suggest that taking the medicine in excess, along with a high-fat diet, may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation. But this weight gain was not evident when taken along with a normal or low-fat diet, even with excess Therofer XT Tablet. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted, and therefore, knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Therofer XT Tablet, then avoid excess Therofer XT Tablet and eat a low-fat meal to be on the safer side.

Why should women start taking Therofer XT Tablet before they become pregnant?

Maintaining the right level of iron and folic acid in the body before getting pregnant reduces the risk of developing neural tube defects in the baby. The neural tube effect, in most cases, occurs when the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) in a baby does not form or is only partially closed. Full closure of the neural tube occurs at the end of the fourth week of pregnancy. Folic acid helps in the formation of neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent this defect, women should start Therofer XT Tablet four weeks before pregnancy.

Can I breastfeed while taking Therofer XT Tablet?

Yes, you can breastfeed while taking Therofer XT Tablet, as it is not harmful to the baby. Therofer XT Tablet contains folic acid as an active ingredient, which is naturally found in breast milk. It also contains iron, but iron does not pass through breast milk. Though initial levels of folic acid in breast milk are low, it eventually rises. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, the mother may take Therofer XT Tablet every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.

When should I take Therofer XT Tablet, in the morning or at night?

You can take Therofer XT Tablet any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, cut, or crush the medicine.

Can Therofer XT Tablet make you sick?

Generally, Therofer XT Tablet is well tolerated, and no side effects are reported in the majority of people. However, some may experience stomach and intestinal problems, which include nausea (feeling sick), dark-colored stools, and upset stomach or digestion issues. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor, but do not stop taking Therofer XT Tablet.
