Iron-deficiency anaemia.

Dosage and Administration
Adults only:
One capsule daily.
Iron-deficiency anaemia and some pregnant women may need a higher dose of iron because of dietary or other factors.

Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients of FERROFOL.
FERROFOL should not be given to patients receiving repeated blood transfusions or to patients with anaemias not produced by iron deficiency unless iron deficiency is also present.

Warnings and Precautions
FERROFOL should never be given for the treatment of undiagnosed megaloblastic anaemia, since folic acid may produce a haematopoietic response in patients with a megaloblastic anaemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency without preventing aggravation of neurological symptoms, which may lead to serious neurological damage.
FERROFOL should be used with caution in patients with iron-storage or iron-absorption diseases such as haemochromatosis, haemoglobinopathies, or existing gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal strictures and diverticulae.
