Product Introduction

Ferpas tablet is a health supplement containing ferric pyrophosphate (liposomal), vitamin C, vitamin B12, and folic acid. It is used to treat anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Patients with chronic kidney disease typically develop anemia due to reduced production of erythropoietin, the kidney hormone responsible for stimulating red blood cell production. The supplement helps treat or prevent low blood iron levels, including anemia and iron deficiency during pregnancy. The tablet provides 85.71% of the recommended dietary allowance of elemental iron for pregnant women as per ICMR guidelines. Inform your doctor if you are allergic to ferric pyrophosphate (liposomal), vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid, or any other ingredient in the tablet. Before taking this supplement, consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Discuss with your doctor if you have a history of any disease. No common side effects have been reported with this medicine; contact your doctor immediately if you notice any symptoms.
