How Lactofer S Capsules works

Lactofer S Capsules replaces the iron the body needs to make haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Energy levels usually improve within a few weeks, but it can take about 3 months to fully refill the body’s iron stores.

Possible side effects

Iron can upset the stomach in some people. Possible side effects include:

• Dark or black stools (this is harmless)
• Constipation
• Nausea or stomach discomfort
• Metallic taste

Precautions and warnings

• Take it with water or orange juice; tea, coffee, milk and antacids reduce iron absorption, so keep a 2-hour gap.
• Keep iron products well out of reach of children, as an overdose is dangerous for them.
• Tiredness has many causes; a blood test confirms whether you need iron.
• For children, use only the dose written on the pack for their age, or as advised by your doctor.
