Ferralet 90 is a medication used to treat various types of anemia that can improve with oral iron, such as those caused by pregnancy, blood loss, or dietary needs. It works by providing iron and folic acid, which are essential for making healthy red blood cells and ensuring proper oxygen transport in the body. You should take one tablet daily, or as your doctor directs. It's important to know that this medication should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients or if you have certain blood disorders like hemolytic anemia. Additionally, if you have a vitamin B12 deficiency, taking folic acid alone is not appropriate for treating your condition.
