RARICAP DROPS

About

RARICAP DROPS is an iron supplement specifically formulated for infants and young children to prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia. Iron is an indispensable mineral crucial for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and for myoglobin in muscles. In infants, adequate iron intake is critical for rapid growth, neurological development, and cognitive function. Iron deficiency during early childhood can lead to irreversible developmental delays and impaired immune function.

Infants are particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency due to rapid growth, low iron stores at birth (especially in premature infants), and insufficient iron intake from breast milk or unfortified formulas after six months of age. RARICAP DROPS provides a precise and easily administrable dose of iron, helping to ensure that infants meet their daily iron requirements, thereby supporting their overall health, development, and preventing the adverse effects of anemia.
