HEPP FORTE SYRUP

HEPP FORTE SYRUP is a medication primarily classified as a haematinic drug, which means it is used to treat or prevent deficiencies that affect blood production, most commonly anemia.

 Components and Function:

The syrup is generally a combination of key nutrients essential for healthy blood cell formation:

• Elemental Iron (or Iron in various forms): Iron is vital for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body. Supplementing iron helps to address and prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
• Folic Acid (Vitamin B9​): Folic acid is crucial for the production and maturation of healthy red blood cells ($\text{RBCs}$) and for cell division. It is particularly important during periods of rapid growth, like pregnancy.
• Other Haematinic Agents: Some formulations may also contain other blood-forming agents or vitamins, like Vitamin B12​ or Haemoglobin itself.

Primary Uses:

HEPP FORTE SYRUP is primarily prescribed for the treatment and prevention of:

• Iron-deficiency anemia: A condition where the body lacks sufficient iron to produce enough healthy red blood cells.
• Nutritional anemia: Anemia caused by deficiencies in nutrients like iron and folic acid.
• Supplementation during pregnancy and lactation: Due to the increased demand for iron and folic acid during these periods, the syrup is often used to prevent deficiencies and associated risks (like neural tube defects in the developing bab
• Iron deficiency due to chronic blood loss or low dietary intake.
