LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON
About
LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON belongs to the group of medicines called nutritional supplements primarily indicated for managing iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia. Iron deficiency anaemia is caused by a lack of iron, often due to blood loss or pregnancy. Symptoms can include tiredness, lack of energy, shortness of breath, and pale skin.
LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON contains Lactoferrin, disodium guanosine-5-monophosphate, and elemental iron. Lactoferrin is a protein that helps regulate iron absorption from the intestine. Disodium guanosine-5-monophosphate regulates ion channel conductance, glycogenolysis (the process of making glucose or sugar from its breakdown products or the breakdown products of lipids or proteins), and cellular apoptosis (the process of programmed cell death). Elemental iron replenishes the iron stores in the body. Together, LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON helps treat iron deficiency.
Take LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON as recommended. In some cases, LACTOFERRIN+DISODIUM GUANOSINE 5 MONOPHOSPHATE+ELEMENTAL IRON may cause common side effects like constipation, stomach pain, stomach upset, and diarrhoea. These side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. If any side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.
