About Vegefer Syrup

SODIUM FEREDETATE belongs to the group of anti-anaemic medicines used to treat iron deficiency anaemia (anaemia caused by too little iron in the body).

Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells for carrying adequate oxygen to various body tissues.
 
SODIUM FEREDETATE contains ‘Sodium Feredetate’, which acts as a source of iron and helps in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body and production of red blood cells. Thereby, SODIUM FEREDETATE helps in treating anaemia.
