Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup 100ml

Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup is a specially formulated iron supplement designed to meet the nutritional needs of growing children. It helps prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia, ensuring optimal red blood cell production and oxygen transport in the body. This syrup supports overall growth, boosts immunity, and enhances cognitive function, making it an essential supplement for children with iron deficiencies.

How Does Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup Work?

Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup works by supplying the body with essential iron, which is crucial for the production of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin plays a vital role in oxygen transport, helping the body function efficiently. This syrup contains easily absorbable iron, reducing the risk of anemia-related symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and poor concentration. Additionally, it supports brain development and strengthens the immune system, ensuring that children remain active and healthy.

How to Use Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup

To achieve the best results, it is important to follow the recommended Tonoferon Paediatric Syrup dosage as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Generally, the dosage depends on the child’s age, weight, and severity of iron deficiency. Here are some general guidelines:

• Children (2 – 6 years): 5 ml once daily
• Children (6 – 12 years): 10 ml once daily

Shake the bottle well before use and administer the syrup using a calibrated measuring spoon or dropper. It is best taken on an empty stomach or as directed by a doctor to enhance iron absorption. However, if stomach upset occurs, taking it with food may help.
