What are the side effects of taking orofer Xt?
Patient: Hi i am 28 years old and i feel like i should take orofer XT just to increase level of heamoglobin, cos last month my periods delayed. is it ok? if i take this tablet? or are there any side effect? I am good in health. not weak not fat i am just perfect. Doctor: Hi,Incomplete data like apart from delayed periods do you have any other symptoms or have you done any blood tests to confirm anemia? Orofer XT Tablet is commonly prescribed for the treatment and prevention of anemia associated with deficiencies of iron and folic acid. Its common side effects include metallic taste, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation and black colored stools. If your hemoglobin is low or if your delayed period is due to an early pregnancy, this medication may be taken.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
