Dexorange Capsules

• Dexorange capsule is used to treat and prevent Iron deficiency anaemia.
• It prevents iron, zinc, folic acid and Vitamin B12 deficiencies during pregnancy, nursing.
• Supports the formation of haemoglobin and of healthy red blood cells, which carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
• Helps correct the tiredness, weakness, breathlessness on exertion, dizziness, pale skin, and brittle nails that can accompany iron, folate or vitamin B12 deficiency.
• Replaces iron, folate and vitamin B12 when the body needs more or intake is poor, such as during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, after surgery or blood loss, and in conditions that reduce nutrient absorption.
• The folic acid and vitamin B12 in Dexorange capsule are also needed for normal nerve function and for the synthesis of DNA.
• The zinc in Dexorange capsule contributes to normal tissue repair, wound healing and bone formation.

Other General Warnings

• You are taking medications, supplements or following complementary or integrative health approaches.
• You have a medical condition or a family history of a medical condition.
• You must not take Dexorange capsule if you are allergic to any of its components.
• You have a planned surgery or operation.
• Dietary supplements are intended to supplement the diets of some people and must not be a substitute for a well-balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

• Take Dexorange capsule as advised by the doctor.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not open or chew it.
• Take it one hour before a meal.
• Iron is absorbed best on an empty stomach. If the capsule upsets your stomach you may take it with a little food instead, and tell your doctor if this keeps happening.
• Leave at least two hours between Dexorange capsule and tea, coffee, milk, curd, cheese or a calcium supplement, as all of these reduce iron absorption.
• Vitamin C helps the body take up iron, so taking the capsule with a citrus fruit or a glass of lemon water can improve absorption.
• Keep a gap of at least two hours between Dexorange capsule and antacids or antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin, doxycycline or levofloxacin, and about four hours from a thyroid tablet such as levothyroxine.
• Take it at the same time each day, and continue for the full duration your doctor advises, because blood counts and iron stores recover over weeks to months.
• You must not consume a dietary supplement more than the stated daily dose.

• Store Dexorange capsules at a cool and dry place.
• Keep it away from children and pets.

• Do not take this supplement more than the daily recommended dose.
• Dietary supplements are intended to supplement the diets of some people and should not be a substitute for a well-balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
• Before starting Dexorange capsule, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Along with Dexorange capsule, take a healthy diet enriched with essential nutrients.
• Dark or black stools are expected with any iron supplement and are harmless. Tell your doctor if you also have stomach pain, vomiting or blood in the stool.
• Constipation, nausea, mild stomach upset or a metallic taste can occur. Drinking more water and eating more fibre usually helps.
• You may begin to feel less tired within a few weeks, but complete the full course so that your iron stores are replaced and not just your haemoglobin.
• Keep Dexorange capsules well out of the reach of children. Accidental iron overdose is dangerous in young children.
• Ask your doctor to recheck your haemoglobin during treatment, and to look for the cause of the anaemia rather than treating it with a supplement alone.
• Include iron-rich and folate-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables, dates, jaggery, pulses, nuts, eggs and meat alongside the supplement.

• Dexorange capsule contains folic acid (vitamin B9), iron (ferric ammonium citrate), vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) and zinc
• Folic acid (vitamin B9) is used in DNA and amino acids synthesis. It is used for the development of the brain and spinal cord of a growing baby. The deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy leads to birth defects.
• Iron is a mineral required for haemoglobin formation. The main role of haemoglobin is to take oxygen from the lungs to parts of the body. The deficiency of iron may cause iron deficiency anaemia.
• Vitamin B12 is used in the brain and nerves for the production of red blood cells (RBC's) and DNA synthesis. If there will be fewer RBCs, insufficient oxygen will be carried to the body and this will make the individual fatigued. The deficiency of vitamin B12 causes neurological problems.
• Zinc: It is used in bone formation and mineralisation. It is an important factor for bone healing and repair.
