Aritone ZI

N/A

This syrup is indicated for the treatment and prevention of Iron, Vitamin B complex and Zinc deficiencies, specially during pregnancy and lactation.

N/A

It is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of this product.

This syrup is the preparation of Iron, Vitamin B complex and Zinc. In this preparation, Iron is present as Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex. Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex facilitates a controlled absorption of the iron when it comes in contact with the mucosal cell surface. Due to non-ionic nature, this Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than conventional Iron form.

Since Iron is complex bound, ionic interaction with foodstuff components (phytates, oxalates, tannin etc.) and concomitant administrations of medicaments (tetracyclines, antacids) are unlikely to occur.

This syrup is generally well tolerated. However, a few side effects of oral Iron preparations, including nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhoea may occur.

In case of overdose, epigastric pain, diarrhoea, vomiting, metabolic acidosis and convulsion may occur. Should seek emergency medical attention in case of overdose. Initially an emetic should be given and then gastric lavage & general supportive measures should be employed.

Recommended in pregnancy & lactation

Caution should be taken in the conditions where there is a risk of Iron overload, such as hemochromatosis, thalassemia, hemosiderosis or hemolytic anemia.

Recommended in children
