Aritone ZI 100ml

Description

Indications
This syrup is used for the treatment and prevention of Iron, Vitamin B complex, and Zinc deficiencies, particularly during pregnancy and lactation.
It is advised to take this medicine as prescribed by a registered healthcare professional.

Composition
Each 5 ml syrup contains:

• Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex: Equivalent to elemental Iron 50 mg
• Thiamine Hydrochloride: 5 mg
• Riboflavin-5-Phosphate Sodium: Equivalent to Riboflavin 2 mg
• Pyridoxine Hydrochloride: 2 mg
• Nicotinamide: 20 mg
• Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate: Equivalent to elemental Zinc 10 mg

Pharmacology
This syrup combines Iron, Vitamin B complex, and Zinc to support overall health. In this formulation, Iron is provided as Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex. This specific complex promotes controlled absorption of iron when it comes into contact with the mucosal surface. Due to its non-ionic nature, Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex is more stable than traditional iron forms, reducing common side effects like irritation to the stomach lining.

Dosage & Administration

• Adults: 5 ml to 10 ml (1–2 teaspoonfuls) 3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
• Children: 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) 3 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
• Infants: 0.33 ml per kg body weight daily, or as recommended by a physician.
  It is recommended to take this medicine as advised by a registered healthcare professional.

Interactions
Due to the complex bound nature of iron in this formulation, interactions with food components (such as phytates, oxalates, and tannins) or medications (e.g., tetracyclines, antacids) are unlikely to occur.

Contraindications
This syrup is contraindicated in individuals who have a known hypersensitivity to any of its components.

Side Effects
This syrup is typically well-tolerated. However, as with most oral iron supplements, some mild side effects may occur, such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea.

Pregnancy & Lactation
This syrup is safe and recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation.

Precautions & Warnings
Caution is advised in individuals who may be at risk of iron overload, such as those with conditions like hemochromatosis, thalassemia, hemosiderosis, or hemolytic anemia.
