Medicinal Benefits

Softeron Capsule is a combination of three drugs: Docusate sodium, Iron, and Folic acid, primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of red blood cells and haemoglobin). It acts as a supplement in pregnancy as, during pregnancy, the demand for Iron and folic acid in the body is increased. It also helps the body produce and maintain new cells and prevents our DNA from mutating, leading to cancer. Docusate sodium is a stool softener that helps to hydrate and soften the fecal material, facilitating natural defecation. Iron and Folic acid (haematinics combination) work by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin in the body. Thus, using Softeron Capsule is associated with a reduced risk of iron deficiency, anaemia, and constipation, especially in pregnant women.

Uses of Softeron Capsule

Iron deficiency (anaemia), Pregnancy anaemia, Anemia due to chronic blood loss.

About Softeron Capsule

Softeron Capsule belongs to the class of nutritional supplements primarily used to treat anaemia (deficiency of Iron and haemoglobin). Additionally, it also treats constipation during pregnancy.

Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.
