Each Capsule contains: L-Lysine HCl 25 mg, Glycine 10 mg, L-Histidine HCl·H₂O 4 mg, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B₁) 5 mg, Riboflavin (Vitamin B₂) 3 mg, Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B₆) 1.5 mg, Folic acid (Vitamin B₉) 500 mcg, Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B₁₂) 2.5 mcg, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 40 mcg, Ferrous Fumarate 150 mg (equivalent to 49.5 mg elemental Iron), Zinc Sulfate 50 mg.

Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Iron is an essential constituent of the body, necessary for hemoglobin formation and, hence, for the oxidative process of living tissues. The absorption of Iron in amounts ranging from 1-50 mg daily depending on the needs of the body. Ferrous salts are better absorbed than ferric salts. Ferrous Fumarate contains 33% of elemental iron. Except in special circumstances, oral iron is used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia, as parenteral iron can have unacceptable adverse effects and dose not increase the speed of resolution of the anaemia. Amino Acids (L-Histidine HCl, H₂O, L-Lysine HCl and Glycine) have a role in protein formation along with hemolytic factors for hemoglobin. Zinc has a role for normal growth Tissue repair and formation of hemoglobin with iron. Vitamins are essential for the normal metabolic function including hematopoietic. Vitamin B₁ acts as co-enzymes in carbohdyrate metabolism. Pyridoxine is essential for the metabolism of amino acids. Folic acid is necessary for normal erythropoiesis and nucleoprotein synthesis. Vitamin B₁₂ is essential for nucleic acid synthesis and normal maturation of red blood cells. Vitamin C is involved in the metabolism of iron and folic acid. As a reducing agent Vitamin C also has a beneficial effect on the absorption of iron, Folic acid and Vitamin B₁₂ are indicated in the prevention and treatment of megaloblastic anemia.

For amino acids, vitamins, and mineral deficiencies.

Usual dose: Adults and Adolescents: 1 cap twice daily at mealtime.

Large amounts of iron intake are toxic, but death in adults is rare. Most deaths due to iron overload occur in children. In fatal cases, 2-10 g are usually ingested. The water-soluble vitamins (B-complex and C) seldom cause toxicity in persons with normal renal function.

Persons known to be hypersensitive to any component.

This product contains Sodium Metabisulfite, a sulfite that may cause allergic-type reactions including anaphylactic symptoms and life-threatening or less severe asthmatic episodes in certain susceptible persons.

Information for Patients: Because toxic reactions have been reported with the injudicious usage of vitamins in patients are urged to follow the physician's advice and the suggested dosage. Patients should be cautioned against the concomitant use of tetracycline or its analogues, with iron compounds in order avoid chelation interaction, which should reduce the bioavailability of the antibiotic.

Iron salts may cause gastrointestinal irritation. Nausea and epigastric pain may occur. Oral iron cause altered bowel habit, resulting in constipation or diarrhea. Administration with meals may reduce these effects on the coloration of stools may occur.
A normal individual is able to control iron absorption despite high intake. Only individuals with underlying disorders have increased iron absorption that run the risk of iron overload with oral administration. Adverse reaction to B-complex vitamins are rare.
Hypersensitivity reaction with thiamine (Vitamin B₁) are rare and have been reported mostly with parenteral administration. Allergic reactions to pyridoxine vitamin (B₆) have been reported. Treatment with Cyanocobalamin may unmask signs of polycythaemia Vera.

Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.
Shelf-Life: 24 months.
