FAQ

Question
Can I breastfeed while taking HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange?
Yes, you can breastfeed while taking HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange as it is not harmful for the baby. HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange 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 HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.
Answer

Question
Why should women start taking HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange 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 HB Fast-Xt Oral Drops Orange before four weeks of pregnancy.
