Presentation

Description

Aritone ZI is a special preparation of Iron, Zinc and B-Vitamins. In Aritone ZI Iron is present as Iron Polymaltose Complex, a novel iron preparation, which contains non-ionic ferric iron and polymaltose in a stable complex. This facilitates a controlled absorption of the iron when it comes in contact with the mucosal cell surface. Being non-ionic, Iron Polymaltose Complex is more tolerable than conventional Iron form.

Indications

Aritone ZI is indicated for the treatment and prevention of Iron, B-vitamins and Zinc deficiencies.

Children: 5 ml (1 teaspoonful) once or twice daily or as recommended by the physician.
