Side Effects of Cheri Xt Suspension 150ml

Dyspepsia: This medicine might cause indigestion or bloating.
Constipation
Diarrhoea
Dark stools: The medicine may cause a change in stool colour, making it darker.
Metallic taste: You might experience an unusual taste in your mouth.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Cheri-XT Suspension. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dyspepsia: If you have indigestion, take Cheri-XT Suspension after meals to lessen this effect.
Metallic taste: Consider taking this medicine at night if it causes an unusual taste in your mouth during the day.

Cheri-XT Suspension is composed of two active ingredients:

Ferrous Ascorbate (30 mg): This form of iron is highly bioavailable. After absorption, the iron detaches from the ascorbate complex and binds to transferrin in your blood plasma. It then travels to your bone marrow where it merges into haemoglobin during the creation of red blood cells.
Folic Acid (0.55 mg): This synthetic variant of folate is a water-soluble B vitamin. Once absorbed, it transforms into its active form, tetrahydrofolate (THF). THF acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of purine and thymidylate which are critical for DNA replication and cell division. Sufficient folate aids in the maturation of red blood cells within your bone marrow, preventing megaloblastic anaemia.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Cheri-XT Suspension if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Cheri-XT Suspension can be taken while breastfeeding, but it's recommended to consult your doctor before doing so.

Allergy
