FAQs

Solfe Tablet is a nutritional supplement that consists of Sodium Feredetate, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12. It works by boosting the production of red blood cells (RBC) in the body. It also helps normalise the low iron levels in the body, thus treating iron deficiency anaemia.

It is recommended not to take Solfe Tablet along with tea, coffee, milk, and eggs since they might interfere with iron absorption from Solfe Tablet .

Solfe Tablet is best absorbed if taken on an empty stomach. But in some patients, Solfe Tablet may cause gastrointestinal disturbances like stomach upset or constipation when taken without food. So, please take it as suggested by your doctor if you have stomach problems.

Antacids may interfere with the absorption of iron. Hence it is advised to take Solfe Tablet two hours before or four hours after taking antacids.

Solfe Tablet may cause constipation as one of its side effects. Eating fibre rich foods like vegetables, fresh fruits, and cereals and drinking plenty of water can help relieve symptoms.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage. Do not double the dose.

About Solfe Tablet

Solfe Tablet belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food or increased folate use in the body (during pregnancy). Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels.

Solfe Tablet contains Sodium Feredetate, Folic acid, and Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin). Sodium Feredetate acts as an iron source and aids in producing red blood cells and the transportation of oxygen to body tissues. Folic acid helps in forming red blood cells and prevents and treats folate deficiency (low blood levels of folate). Vitamin B12 regulates body functions, such as cell multiplication, blood formation, and protein synthesis. It is essential for the proper functioning and development of the blood cells, nerves, and brain.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Solfe Tablet may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, stomach upset, and confusion. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, iron overload disorders like hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, and intestinal problems (ulcer, colitis) before starting Solfe Tablet . It is essential to seek medical advice before starting Solfe Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor if you have any concerns. Solfe Tablet should be given to children only when advised by the doctor.
