Icrate Tablet

Overview Icrate Tablet

Icrate tablets provide supplemental iron via sodium feredetate, a haematinic compound. Iron deficiency anemia necessitates iron supplementation to boost haemoglobin synthesis, crucial for red blood cell oxygen transport. Sodium feredetate uniquely binds iron with EDTA, forming a non-ionic iron complex rather than a conventional iron salt. This facilitates gut absorption while minimizing gastrointestinal distress and tooth discoloration often associated with iron salts such as ferrous sulfate. Icrate tablets are indicated for iron deficiency anemia, pregnancy-related anemia, and anemia resulting from significant menstrual blood loss. Always use as directed by a healthcare professional.
