Uses of Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection are:

• Treatment of iron deficiency anaemia
• Prevention and treatment of folate deficiency anaemia
• Support during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects
• Alleviation of fatigue and weakness due to low iron or folate levels

Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection combines two essential nutrients that work together to effectively treat and prevent anaemia caused by iron and folate deficiencies. Ferrous Ascorbate provides a bioavailable form of iron, which is crucial for haemoglobin production and oxygen transport in the blood. The presence of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) further enhances iron absorption, ensuring optimal levels of this vital mineral.

Folic Acid supports DNA synthesis and the production of red blood cells, helping stimulate healthy cell growth and maturation. This combination improves blood health by treating both iron deficiency anaemia and folate deficiency anaemia. It also prevents megaloblastic anaemia and plays a critical role during pregnancy by reducing the risk of neural tube defects, ensuring better health outcomes for both mother and baby.

Certain substances and medications can reduce the absorption of iron from Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection. Magnesium trisilicate and antacids containing carbonates inhibit iron absorption. Iron also interferes with the absorption of oral tetracycline antibiotics, so avoid taking them within two hours of each other. Always consult your healthcare provider before using Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection with other medications or supplements, and make sure to inform them about all the medicines and supplements you are taking to prevent potential interactions.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Store Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection in the original packaging to protect from moisture.
• Close the container tightly after use to maintain product integrity.
• Avoid direct sunlight and store in a cool, dry place.

To consume Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection, take the prescribed dose exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. Take the tablet 1 or 2 hours before a meal for better absorption. Swallow the tablet whole without breaking, chewing, or crushing it. If you miss a dose, consult your healthcare provider for guidance on what to do next. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If you experience any side effects or have concerns, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them.

Common Side Effects of Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection

• Stomach upset, including nausea, indigestion, or abdominal discomfort

Rare Side Effects of Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection

Excessive iron intake can be harmful, especially to children, and may lead to iron toxicity—keep it out of reach. If you experience allergic reactions like rash or swelling, stop using the product immediately. Iron may cause gastrointestinal issues, such as stomach upset, constipation, or diarrhoea, and it can turn stools black (a harmless side effect). 

If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider. Use Redulid FCM 1000mg Injection cautiously if you have gastrointestinal disorders, iron overload conditions (like haemochromatosis), or a history of vitamin B12 deficiency. 

Always follow the prescribed dosage to prevent toxicity, and inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements, particularly those that affect iron absorption.
