About Diofer-XT Drops
Diofer-XT Drops belongs to a class of medications called 'haematinics' primarily used to treat anaemia (lack of blood) that occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food, or increased folate use in the body (in pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen required to various body tissues.
Diofer-XT Drops is a combination of two drugs: Ferrous ascorbate (iron supplement) and folic acid (a form of vitamin B9). Diofer-XT Drops works by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBC is produced in the body, so that body's each tissue gets sufficient supply of oxygen.
