FAQ

Question
Why should women start taking Iromac XT before they become pregnant?
Maintaining the right level of iron and folic acid in the body before getting pregnant reduces the risk of developing neural tube defects in the baby. Neural tube effect, in most cases, is caused if the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) in a baby does not form or is only partially closed. Full closure of the neural tube occurs during the end of the fourth week of pregnancy. Folic acid helps in the formation of neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent this defect women should start Iromac XT before four weeks of pregnancy.
Answer

Question
Can I breastfeed while taking Iromac XT?
Yes, you can breastfeed while taking Iromac XT as it is not harmful for the baby. Iromac XT contains folic acid as an active ingredient which is naturally found in the breast milk. It also contains iron but iron does not pass through breast milk. Though initial levels of folic acid in the breast milk are low, it rises eventually. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, mother may take Iromac XT every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.
Answer

Question
Can Iromac XT cause weight gain?
Animal studies on Iromac XT suggest that taking the medicine in excess along with a high-fat diet may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation. But this weight gain was not evident when taken along with a normal or low fat diet, even with excess Iromac XT. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted and therefore knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Iromac XT then avoid excess Iromac XT and eat a low fat meal to be on a safer side.
