Product Introduction
Irosup 150mg Capsule is an iron supplement classified as a hematinc. It contains iron polysaccharide and is formulated to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia (IDA). Iron deficiency anaemia develops when the body has insufficient iron to produce adequate red blood cells, resulting in fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Irosup 150mg Capsule works by restoring the body's iron stores, which are necessary for oxygen transport, energy production, and normal cellular function. The formulation is designed to minimise gastrointestinal side effects often seen with other iron supplements. Although generally tolerated, it is contraindicated in iron overload disorders such as haemochromatosis and haemosiderosis. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and individuals with chronic illnesses should seek advice from a healthcare provider before use. Patients must follow recommended dosages and consider potential interactions with concurrent medications.
Uses
Irosup 150mg Capsule is FDA-approved for: Treating iron deficiency anaemia. Preventing iron deficiency in individuals at risk, such as pregnant women, children, and those with insufficient dietary intake.
How it works
Iron polysaccharide releases elemental iron in a controlled manner, which is then absorbed through the small intestine. This iron contributes to haemoglobin and myoglobin production, critical for transporting and storing oxygen in the body. The supplement also supports energy metabolism and various enzymatic reactions. Its polysaccharide coating ensures gentle absorption, reducing the risk of stomach irritation and enhancing tolerability.
How to Use
Recommended Dose: Adults typically take 50-100 mg of elemental iron daily, as prescribed. Dosage Form: Available as oral tablets, capsules, and liquid suspensions. Administration: Best taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption. If stomach upset occurs, take it with food.

Pair it with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance absorption and avoid consuming dairy, tea, or coffee close to dosing time. Regular blood tests may be necessary to monitor iron levels and treatment efficacy. Keep the supplement out of reach of children.
