About Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension

Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension belongs to a class of 'nutritional supplements,' primarily used to treat iron deficiency anaemia and nutritional deficiencies. Iron deficiency anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells due to low iron levels. Nutritional deficiency occurs when the body is unable to absorb or get enough nutrients from food.

Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension contains Elemental Iron, Folic acid, and Cyanocobalamin. Elemental Iron is an essential mineral that 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). Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that helps in the proper functioning of the brain and nerves and the production of red blood cells.

Your doctor will decide the duration based on your medical condition. In some cases, Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension may cause side effects like nausea, diarrhoea, constipation, and stomach upset. 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 Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension. It is essential to seek medical advice before starting Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Drinking alcohol may affect iron absorption; therefore, it is advised to avoid/limit alcohol consumption. Mihifer-XT Oral Suspension should be given to children only when advised by the doctor.

Nutritional deficiency: A nutritional deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough nutrients from food. This condition occurs when a person's nutrient intake is lesser than the body's recommended requirement. It can lead to various health problems like a weak immune system, skin problems, digestion problems, defective bone growth, and neurological diseases.

Iron deficiency anaemia: It is a condition caused due to low iron levels, in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to various body tissues. If the body has too little iron, it cannot make enough haemoglobin. Haemoglobin is the main protein in the red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body.
