Unipharma Hemafer Iron Supplement for Infants & Children, Prevents Iron Deficiency, Oral Drops Solution - 30ml

Unipharma Hemafer is an iron supplement primarily used to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia in infants and young children, especially those who are breastfed, premature, or have low birth weight. It helps ensure sufficient iron intake during rapid growth.

Administer the drops orally as directed by your pediatrician or the product leaflet. It can often be mixed with a small amount of water or fruit juice, but avoid milk as it can reduce iron absorption.

Common side effects include mild gastrointestinal disturbances like nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark stools. These are usually temporary and can often be minimized by taking the drops with food.

Iron supplements can interact with certain medications, such as antacids or some antibiotics. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before giving Hemafer if your child is taking any other medicines.

The duration of treatment depends on your child's iron status and your doctor's recommendation. It's important to follow your pediatrician's advice for the appropriate length of use.
