Composition

Ferrous Combination

Safiron Syrup is commonly used for addressing iron deficiency anaemia. This syrup belongs to a category of medication known as iron supplements, which are combined with essential vitamins to enhance their function.

In addition to its primary application, the medicine is also employed in managing conditions that result from chronic blood loss, insufficient dietary iron intake and increased iron requirements during times such as pregnancy and lactation. It's also beneficial for those with malabsorption disorders where the body struggles to absorb nutrients properly.

Safiron Syrup is used for:

Managing iron deficiency anaemia due to a diet lacking in iron
Addressing anaemia arising from chronic blood loss
Fulfilling increased iron requirements during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Combating anaemia caused by disorders that prevent the body from properly absorbing iron
Assisting with the correct utilisation and absorption of iron, due to the presence of vitamin B complex components

Directions for Use of Safiron Syrup 100 ML

Take Safiron Syrup as follows:

Shake the bottle well before use.
Use the provided measuring cup to get the correct dose of the syrup.
Keep the bottle tightly capped after use.
This medicine is sugar-based and needs caution for use in diabetic patients. If you have diabetes, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Safiron Syrup is taken orally.

While taking Safiron Syrup, you might experience the following side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Epigastric pain: This is a type of stomach pain that occurs in the upper part of your abdomen.
Diarrhoea or constipation
Dark stools: This refers to the blackening of your stools due to the presence of iron.
Rash, urticaria or anaphylaxis: These are allergic reactions involving skin rashes, hives, or severe whole body reactions.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Safiron Syrup. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some ways you can manage common side effects:

Nausea or vomiting: Try taking Safiron Syrup with meals.
Epigastric Pain: If you experience stomach discomfort after taking this medicine, consider having it after eating.

Safiron Syrup is a combination medication that works together in multiple ways:

Ferrous Ammonium Citrate (160 mg): This component splits up in your gastrointestinal tract into smaller particles called ferrous ions which aid the transport of oxygen in red blood cells.
Cyanocobalamin (7.5 mcg): Also known as Vitamin B12, it plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and helps mature red blood cells. A deficiency can lead to a type of anaemia called megaloblastic anaemia.
Folic Acid (0.5 mg): Like Vitamin B12, folic acid is also vital for DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation.
Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (1 mg): Also referred to as Vitamin B6, it aids in creating a component of haemoglobin known as haeme.
Niacinamide (15 mg): It works as a vasodilator, meaning it widens your blood vessels, improving the microcirculation of blood in your body.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, it's advised to use Safiron Syrup with caution. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Safiron Syrup can be used during breastfeeding. However, remember to discuss this with your doctor for safety purposes.

Alcohol

The interaction of Safiron Syrup with alcohol is unknown. It's advisable to consult your doctor before consuming alcohol while taking this medicine.

Liver

This medicine is usually prescribed to adults who may have liver health issues. It is advised to discuss any liver-related concerns with your doctor before using Safiron Syrup.

Kidney

Caution is advised while taking Safiron Syrup if you have any kidney problems. Always consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Safiron Syrup does not affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. However, different people react in different ways, so if you feel dizzy or drowsy, avoid driving or operating machinery.

Allergy

If you know you're allergic to any of the ingredients in Safiron Syrup, avoid taking this medicine. If unsure, consult your doctor first.

Children

Safiron Syrup should be given cautiously to children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Drug-Drug Interactions

Safiron Syrup interacts with the following medicines:

Fluoroquinolones: This group of antibiotics, including medicines like ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, can have reduced absorption when taken alongside Safiron Syrup. A gap of at least two hours between the two is advisable.
Tetracyclines: Antibiotics such as doxycycline or minocycline may be less absorbed when taken with Safiron Syrup, potentially reducing their effectiveness.
Bisphosphonates: Medicines like alendronate used for osteoporosis might interact with Safiron Syrup, leading to decreased absorption of the bisphosphonate.
Thyroid Hormones: Levothyroxine, a thyroid hormone replacement medicine, can have its absorption decreased when taken with Safiron Syrup.

Drug-Food Interactions

Food interactions with Safiron Syrup:

Foods rich in phytates, phosphates, tannates, and oxalates: These substances present in some foods can reduce iron absorption from Safiron Syrup.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Safiron Syrup interacts with the following diseases:

Haemochromatosis and Haemosiderosis: These conditions involve excess iron in the body. Taking additional iron through Safiron Syrup could worsen these conditions.
Peptic Ulcer Disease: In patients with this condition, iron supplementation through Safiron Syrup might aggravate gastrointestinal irritation.
Chronic Kidney Disease: The dose of Safiron Syrup needs to be adjusted in patients with this condition to avoid potential complications.

Daily Dose

It's pivotal to take the daily dose of Safiron Syrup strictly as prescribed by your doctor. Your dosage may be altered based on factors such as your response to treatment and the severity of your condition.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more than the prescribed amount of Safiron Syrup, you might experience common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Missed Dose

In case you miss a dose of Safiron Syrup, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule.

Store Safiron Syrup at a cool temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Keep it in a tightly closed container, away from light and moisture.
Never refrigerate or freeze the syrup.
Always keep Safiron Syrup out of reach of children.

Consider including iron-rich foods in your diet. Foods like spinach, lentils, and lean meats can help replenish your body's iron stores, aiding in the management of iron deficiency anaemia.
Stay hydrated. Drinking sufficient water aids digestion, promoting optimal absorption of nutrients like iron from your food. This helps enhance the effectiveness of Safiron Syrup.

Can Safiron Syrup cause side effects?

Yes, some people might experience nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea or constipation, and dark stools. These are usually mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if they persist.

Can I take Safiron Syrup during pregnancy?

If you're pregnant, planning to conceive or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before starting Safiron Syrup as your iron requirements may be different.

How long will it take for my iron levels to improve with Safiron Syrup?

The syrup may require a minimum of 3-6 months to replenish your body's iron stores. Regular monitoring of haemoglobin levels is advised by your doctor.

Can taking Safiron Syrup affect other medications?

Yes, it can decrease the absorption of certain medications like fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines. It's advisable to take these medications at least 2 hours apart from Safiron Syrup.
