Feredet
Feredet contains sodium feredetate which is a new generation haematinic and is a chelate form of iron.Feredet does not dissociate in the stomach and thus there is minimal gastric disturbances whether it is Diarrohoea, Constipation, Nausea or Vomiting which is very commonly associated with any conventional iron. The relative bioavailability of Feredet is 2.5 to 10 times of ferrous sulphate and carbonyl iron respectively and therefore Feredet produces faster rise in haemoglobin as compared to conventional iron and carbonyl iron. The absorption is unaffected by phytates and oxalates. Feredet is available as Tabs and solution. Feredet tablet provides 231 mg of sodium feredetate equivalent to 33mg of elemental iron, 1.5 mg of folic acid and 15 mcg of vitamin B12. Each 15 ml of Feredet solution contains 231 mg of sodium feredetate equivalent to 33 mg of elemental iron and is available in a delicious cherry flavour.
