✔️ Indication of Prenat CI

Carbonyl Iron+Folic Acid+Zinc Sulfate is used in the treatment of nutritional deficiencies.

✔️ Pharmacology

• Iron: Plays a crucial role in the formation of hemoglobin, essential for oxygen transport via red blood cells. It serves as a cofactor for enzymes, including those involved in electron transport. Adequate iron levels are vital for effective red blood cell production (erythropoiesis).
• Folic Acid: Supports nucleoprotein synthesis and helps maintain normal red blood cell production. It is converted into its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, in the liver and plasma. Folic acid prevents neural tube defects in women of childbearing potential, with increased requirements during pregnancy.
• Zinc: Acts as a cofactor for over 100 enzymes, supports DNA synthesis, and helps maintain a healthy immune system. Zinc also plays a role in insulin function, taste, and smell.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Prenat CI

Adult Dose:

• Standard dose: One capsule daily.
• Severe deficiency: In more severe cases, up to two capsules daily may be required, as directed by a healthcare provider.

For optimal absorption, it is recommended to take the supplement on an empty stomach. However, to minimize gastrointestinal irritation, it can be taken with or after meals.

✔️ Interaction

• Carbonyl Iron: Antacids may reduce the absorption of carbonyl iron.
• Folic Acid: The effectiveness of folic acid may be decreased by antiepileptics, oral contraceptives, anti-tuberculosis medications, alcohol, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim, and sulfonamides. Folic acid may also reduce serum concentrations of phenytoin.
