HOW FERIGEX TABLET WORKS

Iron (Ferric Pyrophosphate) – Haemoglobin Formation Provides elemental iron as building block for haemoglobin structure Liposomal delivery improves gastrointestinal absorption vs traditional iron salts Enables oxygen transport capacity in red blood cells.

Folic Acid – DNA Synthesis & Cell Division Essential co-factor for DNA and RNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells Supports normal red blood cell maturation in bone marrow Prevents macrocytic red cell formation.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) – Cell Metabolism Works with folic acid in one-carbon metabolism cycle Supports healthy myelin sheath formation for nerve function Aids red blood cell production and prevents megaloblastic changes.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) – Absorption Enhancement Converts ferric iron (Fe3+) to absorbable ferrous form (Fe2+) in stomach Protects iron from oxidation during absorption process Provides antioxidant protection to red blood cell.

Drug – Drug interaction
Medications that REDUCE Iron Absorption (2-Hour Gap Required).
Antacids (aluminium/magnesium hydroxide) – bind iron in stomach.
Calcium supplements – form insoluble complexes with iron.
Tetracycline antibiotics – chelate iron, reduce antibiotic effectiveness.
Quinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) – impaired absorption both ways.
Thyroid hormones (levothyroxine) – iron interferes with thyroid absorption.
Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole) – reduce stomach acid needed for iron release.
Bisphosphonates (alendronate) – compete for absorption sites.

Vitamin B12 Interactions:
Metformin – long-term use may reduce B12 absorption.
Proton pump inhibitors – reduce stomach acid needed for B12 release from food.

Folic Acid Interactions:
Antiepileptics (phenytoin, carbamazepine) – accelerate folic acid breakdown.
Methotrexate – folic acid antagonist (discuss with oncologist).

Drug – Food interaction
Foods/Drinks that BLOCK Iron (Avoid 2 Hours Before/After).

HIGH BLOCKERS (Strict 2hr spacing):
