LIVOGEN CAPTABS

• Livogen Captabs are primarily used to treat Iron Deficiency Anemia (Low hemoglobin).
• Iron and Folic Acid in Livogen Captabs support RBC and Hemoglobin production in the body.
• Livogen Captabs help fight tiredness, weakness, and paleness caused by iron-deficiency anemia.
• Livogen Captabs help control hair loss and brittle nails caused by iron-deficiency anemia.

• Black or very dark stools expected, harmless, and not a sign of bleeding
• Constipation
• Nausea or stomach discomfort
• Loose motions
• A metallic taste
• Teeth staining with liquid forms, less so with tablets

• Heartburn
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting

• Severe stomach pain, or vomiting blood, or stools that are black AND tarry with a foul smell, which is different from the ordinary darkening iron causes.
• Difficulty swallowing, or a feeling that the tablet has stuck.
• A rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or throat.
• If a child accidentally swallows any, treat as an emergency.

Other General Warnings

• You have any existing medical conditions or are on other medications, supplements or following any complementary or integrative health approaches.
• You should not take Livogen Captab if you are allergic to any of the components of this medicine.
• You have any planned surgery or operation. You may be asked to stop taking this medicine at least 2-3 weeks ahead of the procedure.
• You should avoid consuming too much alcohol.
• You should avoid driving if you do not feel well or are not alert.

• Take 1 tablet daily, or as advised by your doctor.
• Preferably take it one hour before a meal.
• Avoid taking tea or coffee along with the supplement.
• You should not consume dietary supplements in excess of the stated recommended daily dose.

• Store Livogen Captab in a cool and dry place.
• Keep it away from children and pets.

• Keep it well out of children's reach. Iron tablets are among the most dangerous things in a small child's medicine cupboard.
• Do not be alarmed by black stools. That is iron passing through, not bleeding.
• Vitamin C helps absorption - a citrus fruit or a glass of lemon water with the dose is a simple way to improve it.
• Leave a gap of a couple of hours between this and tea, coffee, milk, calcium supplements, or antacids, all of which block iron absorption.
• Keep taking it for as long as your doctor says, even once you feel better. Refilling iron stores takes months longer than correcting the blood count.
• Expect a repeat blood test. That is how your doctor judges whether it is working and when to stop.
• Tell your doctor if constipation becomes a problem; rather than stopping the medicine, it can usually be managed.
• Iron deficiency has a cause. Make sure they look into the cause, not just treat the anaemia.

• Livogen captab contains vitamin B9 (folic acid) and iron (ferrous fumarate).
• Vitamin B9, or Folic Acid, is an essential vitamin that plays a vital role in DNA and amino acid synthesis. It is crucial for cell division and the development of blood cells. It is also essential for the development of the baby's brain and spinal cord, and a lack of it during pregnancy can lead to birth defects.
• Iron or Ferrous Fumarate: It is a vital mineral that the body requires. It is crucial for haemoglobin (Hb) formation (present in red blood cells). haemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the entire body. It is also part of myoglobin that supplies oxygen to muscles. It plays a significant role in immunity, the production of certain hormones, and the regulation of body temperature.
