TONOFERON PAED SYRUP 100 ML

How TONOFERON PAED SYRUP 100 ML Works

• Iron is a building block of haemoglobin, the protein inside red blood cells that binds oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. Replenishing iron stores supports the bone marrow's production of new, healthy red blood cells, which eases the fatigue and pallor caused by iron deficiency.
• Folic acid (vitamin B9) is needed for DNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells, including the red blood cell precursors made in the bone marrow. Methylcobalamin (vitamin B12) also supports red blood cell formation and normal nerve function. Including these two vitamins alongside iron helps ensure the building blocks needed for healthy red blood cell production are all available together.

Nausea, abdominal discomfort, constipation and diarrhoea are commonly reported. Darkening of the stools is a harmless and expected effect of oral iron and does not need to be reported unless accompanied by other symptoms. Temporary staining of the teeth can occur with prolonged contact of the syrup with the teeth. A widespread rash, facial swelling or breathing difficulty are signs of an allergic reaction and need immediate medical attention.

• If you forget to give a dose of TONOFERON PAED SYRUP 100 ML, give it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not give a double dose to make up for the one you missed.

• Store the bottle in its original pack, out of the reach of children and pets. Keep it at room temperature. Do not use the syrup after the expiry date printed on the label.

• Shake the bottle well before each use and use a calibrated dropper or syringe
• Store well out of reach of children, since accidental overdose of iron is a medical emergency
• Give on an empty stomach where possible, or with a small amount of food if it upsets the stomach
• Darkened stools are a normal, harmless effect and do not need to be reported on their own
• Rinse the child's mouth with water after dosing to reduce the risk of teeth staining
• Complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve

• Tea, coffee, milk in large amounts, and calcium-containing foods or antacids can reduce iron absorption if taken close to a dose and are best spaced apart. Vitamin C-rich foods can improve iron absorption.
