Zifocap is indicated for the treatment and prevention of deficiencies in Iron, Folic Acid, and Zinc, particularly during pregnancy and lactation.
Carbonyl Iron is a form of iron important for various bodily functions, especially for oxygen transport in the blood. It serves as a dietary supplement to prevent and treat iron deficiencies and iron deficiency anemia. Folic Acid facilitates chemical reactions that contribute to red blood cell production, DNA synthesis for cell replication, and amino acid metabolism, which is essential for protein synthesis. Zinc is vital for numerous physiological processes and the function of many enzymes. Zinc deficiency can lead to symptoms such as poor night vision, slow wound healing, impaired sexual development and function in males, reduced appetite, weakened immune response, diarrhea, dermatitis, and retarded growth in children.
Adults should take one capsule daily before food or as directed by a physician.
Carbonyl Iron can reduce the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa, and penicillamine. Folic Acid may interact with antiepileptic medications, potentially lowering the plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin, and primidone.
Zifocap is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components or those with iron overload conditions.
Possible side effects include gastrointestinal irritations such as nausea, anorexia, vomiting, discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea. Dark stools may also occur. The incorporation of Carbonyl Iron pellets in the capsules helps reduce gastrointestinal irritation, but rare allergic reactions may still happen.
It is advisable to avoid the use of any medication during the first trimester of pregnancy unless there is clear evidence of iron deficiency. Iron supplementation, along with zinc and folic acid, is justified during the remainder of the pregnancy when dietary intake is inadequate.
Special care should be taken in patients with iron overload conditions like hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia, or red blood cell aplasia. If there is a lack of response to treatment, further investigation is necessary to rule out other causes of anemia. Patients with renal failure may be at risk of zinc accumulation.
Store below 30°C, away from light and moisture. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
