How Fericom-SF Products work
Sodium Feredetate + Folic Acid + Vitamin B12 is a combination of two medicines: Sodium Feredetate and Folic Acid. Sodium Feredetate works by replenishing the iron stores in your body. Iron is vital for formation of new red blood cells and hemoglobin, a substance that gives these cells the ability to transport oxygen. 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. It also contains vitamin B12, that restores its level in the body thereby helping in treating certain anemias and nerve problems.

Q. Why is it important not to self‑treat anemia without testing?
Folic acid can normalize blood tests while nerve damage from vitamin B12 deficiency continues, and not all anemia is due to iron deficiency. Doctors check iron, B12, folate, and other labs to choose the right treatment and avoid masking serious conditions.
Q. What should caregivers know when giving Fericom-SF Tablet to children?
Use the age‑appropriate dose of Fericom-SF Tablet as prescribed by the doctor with a measured spoon or syringe. Keep the medicine out of children’s reach because accidental overdose of iron‑containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children.
