Orofer XT Drops are primarily used to manage iron deficiency anaemia in infants and children. This medicine is a nutritional supplement, supplying the body with iron, a vital mineral.

In addition to managing iron deficiency anaemia, these drops can be used to counteract iron insufficiency due to inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption conditions, or rapid growth in children.

Before you give this medicine to your child, it's important to consult your doctor who can prescribe the right dosage and frequency. Make sure you inform the doctor about any pre-existing conditions your child may have or any ongoing medication you're giving. If your child experiences any side effects while on this medication, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue giving the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Orofer XT Drops are used for the following:

Prevention of iron deficiency anaemia in infants and children
Management of existing iron deficiency anaemia in young children
Ensuring adequate intake of iron during periods of rapid growth in children
Supporting cognitive development and reducing behavioural disturbances caused by iron deficiency

Directions for Use of Orofer Xt Oral Drops 15ml

To ensure the proper use of Orofer XT Drops, please follow these steps:

Use the calibrated dropper to measure the right dose.
Give the drops directly into your child's mouth or mix them with a small amount of breast milk, formula, fruit juice, or water.
If possible, give the drops on an empty stomach for optimal absorption.
Should any stomach upset occur, you could give the drops with food.
Always consult your doctor for specific advice.
Remember to keep the bottle tightly closed after use and store it away from light and moisture.

Note: The drops should be discarded one month after opening the bottle.

Orofer XT Drops contain Ferrous Ascorbate (10 mg), which functions within your child's body as follows:

Iron Supply: The drops deliver a supply of iron that is essential for producing haemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen within the red blood cells.
Iron Absorption: Ferrous ascorbate dissociates into iron and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) upon ingestion. The presence of ascorbic acid enhances the absorption of iron by reducing it from its ferric (Fe3+) state to its ferrous (Fe2+) state.
Iron Utilisation: Once absorbed, the iron binds with transferrin, a transport protein that carries it to various tissues for storage as ferritin or incorporation into haemoglobin in developing red blood cells.
Excretion: Any excess iron that is not utilised by the body is primarily excreted through faeces.
