Vivase (50mg/5ml) 120ml Syrup

Overview

Vivase 50mg/5ml 120ml Syrup is an oral iron preparation containing iron polymaltose complex. It is commonly used as an anti-anemic supplement for people who need additional iron intake due to low iron stores, increased nutritional requirements, or diagnosed iron deficiency anemia. The syrup format may be easier to swallow than tablets and can be useful for patients who prefer liquid dosing.

Iron is an essential mineral required for the formation of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. Low iron levels may contribute to tiredness, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath on exertion, poor concentration, and reduced exercise tolerance. Vivase should be used according to the product label or the dose advised by a doctor, pharmacist, or qualified healthcare professional.
