FAQs:
How long does Frezcon Tablet take to work?
Frezcon Tablet usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. If you are taking it for iron deficiency anemia, you may start feeling better after a few weeks of taking it. In case you are taking it during pregnancy, you may not notice any difference, but this does not mean that the dose is not working. Continue taking Frezcon Tablet for the duration recommended by your doctor.
Can Frezcon Tablet cause weight gain?
Animal studies on Frezcon Tablet 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 Frezcon Tablet. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted, and therefore, knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Frezcon Tablet, then avoid excess Frezcon Tablet and eat a low-fat meal to be on the safer side.
Why should women start taking Frezcon Tablet before they become pregnant?
Keeping 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. The neural tube effect, in most cases, occurs when 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 at 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 Frezcon Tablet four weeks before pregnancy.
Can I breastfeed while taking Frezcon Tablet?
Affirmative, you can breastfeed while taking Frezcon Tablet, as it is not harmful to the baby. Frezcon Tablet contains folic acid as an active ingredient, which is naturally found in breast milk. It also contains iron, but iron does not pass through breast milk. Though initial levels of folic acid in breast milk are low, it eventually rises. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, the mother may take Frezcon Tablet every day to maintain the required levels. Communicate to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.
When should I take Frezcon Tablet, in the morning or at night?
You can take Frezcon Tablet any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, cut, or crush the medicine.
Can Frezcon Tablet make you sick?
Generally, Frezcon Tablet is well tolerated, and no side effects are reported in the majority of people. However, some may experience stomach and intestinal problems, which include nausea (feeling sick), dark-colored stools, and upset stomach or digestion issues. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor, but do not stop taking Frezcon Tablet.
