Fericit Tablet

Fericit Tablet contains ferric citrate as its active component. It is used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and hyperphosphatemia (elevated phosphate levels in the body). It functions as a phosphate binder to manage hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. Additionally, it serves as an iron supplement providing elemental iron required for red blood cell production. Iron is essential for synthesising haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body, and is vital for energy production and metabolism. This medication is typically prescribed when oral iron supplements alone prove insufficient or poorly tolerated.

Inform your healthcare provider of any pre-existing medical conditions including gastrointestinal disorders, liver disease, kidney disease, or other health conditions, as these may require special precautions or dose adjustments with Fericit Tablets. Certain gastrointestinal disorders such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or conditions affecting iron absorption warrant special caution when using Fericit Tablets. The underlying condition should be managed and optimised prior to initiating iron supplementation.

Do not use Fericit Tablet if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to ferric citrate or other ingredients in the medication. This medication should not be used in patients with iron overload conditions such as haemochromatosis, haemosiderosis, or other conditions causing excessive iron accumulation in the body.
