What is the use of the Orofer XT tablet? My doctor gave it for weakness, but I’m not sure if it’s only for iron deficiency or also helps with general fatigue.

Dear Reader,
Orofer XT is mainly used to treat iron deficiency. Iron deficiency can cause weakness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and more. Iron supplements and iron-rich food help your body build hemoglobin which carries oxygen in blood. When your iron levels are low, you can feel weak, tired, dizzy, or low on energy. That’s why doctors often prescribe it when someone complains of weakness or fatigue—because these are common signs of low iron.
If your doctor gave it for weakness, they may suspect that your tiredness is linked to low iron, even if your levels are only slightly low. Once iron improves, most people feel more active and less tired.
However, Orofer XT is not meant for general fatigue unrelated to iron. If you’re still feeling weak even after taking it for some time, or if the tiredness feels unusual, please consult your doctor. They can confirm whether it’s an iron issue or if something else needs attention.
Wishing you good health.
