Livogen-XT Tablet 10's

Livogen-XT Tablet 10's is a combination medication that belongs to the class of drugs called 'hematinic', primarily used to prevent and treat the low levels of folic acid, zinc, and iron in blood during certain health conditions (e.g., anaemia, pregnancy, low diet, surgery recovery). Anaemia is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (an iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body).  During pregnancy, the body needs more zinc, iron, ad folic acid, and a lack of these components leads to anaemia in either the mother or baby.

Livogen-XT Tablet 10's contains Iron, Zinc, and Folic acid. These three are essential substances required by the body to make more blood cells. Iron is a necessary mineral in the body needed by red blood cells to carry oxygen to other body cells and tissues. Combined with haemoglobin, it helps in attracting oxygen in the lungs. Zinc is needed by the body's immune (defence) system to carry out its functions. It helps in cell growth, division, breakdown of carbohydrates, wound healing, and proper metabolism of iron. Folic acid is a vitamin B that helps the body make more red blood cells and helps the red blood cells carry out more oxygenated blood to other tissues of the body.

Anaemia is a health condition that happens when the body has a lower amount of red blood cells or haemoglobin than normal haemoglobin (an iron-rich protein responsible for allowing red blood cells to carry more oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body).  Dietary iron, folic acid, and zinc are essential for red blood cells to produce and mature in the body. Generally,  0.8 to 1 % of red blood cells are replaced daily. Any process that affects red blood cell production and destruction can cause anaemia. Some factors responsible for anaemia include accidents, childbirth, dietary insufficiency, and excessive uterine bleeding.
