Fefol Kid Syrup
Fefol Kid Syrup is an oral iron and folic acid supplement specially formulated for pediatric use. It contains iron (as Ferrous Ascorbate) which is highly bioavailable and easily absorbed, along with Folic Acid which is crucial for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. It helps combat fatigue, weakness, and developmental delays associated with anemia in children.
Dosage by Body Weight
Dosage must be determined by a pediatrician based on the child's clinical condition and nutritional needs. It is best administered after meals to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Avoid administering with milk, calcium supplements, or antacids, as they can significantly reduce iron absorption. Vitamin C-rich drinks can be given concurrently to enhance absorption.
