Ascofer is an iron-based medicine in capsule form. Ascofer Fer 33 mg 30 capsules is indicated for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia in adults and children aged 6 and over, and as a preventive treatment for iron deficiency in pregnant women.

Welcome to the world of Ascofer Fer, the ideal solution for your iron needs. Our capsules contain 33 mg of elemental iron, providing an essential source of this vital element to maintain your health and energy at peak levels.

• Quality iron: Ascofer Fer is a source of highly bioavailable iron, guaranteeing optimal absorption by your body.
• Energy and Vitality: Iron is essential for the production of haemoglobin, transporting oxygen to your cells to give you the energy you need for everyday life.
• Immune Support: Adequate iron is crucial for maintaining a robust immune system, protecting you from infection and disease.

Ascofer Fer 33mg capsules are specifically formulated to correct iron-deficiency anemia, which results from a lack of iron in the body. The iron contained in this medication is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. By increasing iron stores, Ascofer Fer 33mg stimulates the production of red blood cells, improving the body's ability to transport oxygen to tissues and organs.

Iron requirements increase considerably during pregnancy to meet the demands of fetal growth and placental development. Ascofer Fer 33mg capsules are used as a preventive treatment in pregnant women to maintain adequate levels of iron in the body, reducing the risk of developing iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

The capsule formulation of Ascofer Fer 33mg containing ferrous sulfate ensures efficient absorption of iron by the body. Ferrous sulfate is a form of iron that is well assimilated by the intestine, ensuring high bioavailability of the drug. This optimal absorption of iron enables rapid correction of iron deficiency and improvement of symptoms associated with anemia.

Ascofer Fer 33mg capsules are generally well tolerated by most patients. However, it is important to adhere to the recommended dosage to avoid any risk of iron overdosage, which may lead to adverse effects such as gastrointestinal disorders (nausea, constipation, diarrhea) or allergic reactions. This medicine is not recommended in cases of allergy to iron or any of its components, or in cases of anemia not caused by iron deficiency. Before taking Ascofer Fer 33mg, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional to assess the appropriate dosage and any contraindications.

For women, this requirement is higher before the menopause, as their iron needs are increased during menstruation, pregnancy and breast-feeding.
