Benefits of Aritone ZI Syrup

Iron:

• Function in Hemoglobin Formation: Iron is a crucial component in forming hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
• Role in Erythropoiesis: Adequate iron is vital for erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells, which ensures efficient oxygen transport.
• Cofactor for Enzymes: Iron serves as a cofactor for several key enzymes, including cytochromes, which are involved in electron transport within cells.
• Oxygen Transport: By being incorporated into hemoglobin and myoglobin, iron helps in transporting oxygen efficiently to muscles and tissues.

Zinc:

• Enzyme Cofactor: Zinc is a cofactor in over 100 enzymes, playing a crucial role in DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, and cell division.
• Immune Support: Zinc is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and helps the body fight infections.
• Taste and Smell: Zinc is important for maintaining a proper sense of taste and smell.
• Role in Insulin Function: It assists in the proper function of insulin, aiding in the regulation of blood sugar levels.

Vitamin B Complex:

• Coenzyme A Synthesis: B vitamins, particularly Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid), are involved in synthesizing and maintaining coenzyme A, a molecule necessary for lipid and carbohydrate metabolism.
• Metabolism Support: B vitamins play a vital role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and tissue respiration, helping in energy production.
• Triglyceride Removal: They may enhance the removal of triglycerides (fat molecules) from the blood plasma, helping regulate fat metabolism and contributing to heart health.

Pharmacology

• Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex (IPC): This form of iron allows controlled absorption when it comes into contact with mucosal surfaces. Due to its non-ionic nature, it is more stable than conventional iron preparations and has fewer interactions with food or medications.
• Vitamin B Complex & Zinc: These components aid in red blood cell formation, nervous system health, and immune function.

Dosage & Administration of Aritone ZI Syrup

• Adults: 5-10 ml (1-2 teaspoonfuls) 3 times daily or as directed by a physician.
• Children: 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) 3 times daily or as directed by a physician.
• Infants: 0.33 ml/kg of body weight daily or as directed by a physician.

Interactions

• Due to the non-ionic nature of Iron in this complex, interactions with food components like phytates, oxalates, and tannins, as well as medications like tetracyclines and antacids, are unlikely.

Contraindications

• Contraindicated in patients allergic to any of the ingredients.

Pregnancy & Lactation

• This preparation is recommended for use during pregnancy and lactation, as it helps meet the increased nutritional needs during these periods.

Precautions & Warnings

• Use with caution in conditions with a risk of iron overload such as hemochromatosis, thalassemia, hemosiderosis, or hemolytic anemia.
• Symptoms of overdose may include epigastric pain, diarrhea, vomiting, metabolic acidosis, and convulsions. Immediate medical attention is required in case of overdose, with treatment including emetics, gastric lavage, and supportive measures.

Storage Conditions
