Medicinal Benefits:

Nafia Tablet contains Sodium Feredetate, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). Nafia Tablet is used to treat iron-deficiency anaemia. Sodium Feredetate acts as an iron source and aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. It does not cause teeth discolouration and is less likely to cause stomach upset than other iron-containing medicines. Folic acid helps form red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency. Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It further helps in the proper functioning and development of the blood cells, nerves, and brain.
