• Iron deficiency
• High phosphate levels in blood

Iron deficiency
Iron is an important constituent of hemoglobin, myoglobin and other enzymes essential for various body functions. Deficiency of iron can lead to fatigue, heart problems such as palpitations, shortness of breath and will adversely affect your overall health. Fevincio Tablet contains ferric citrate, a form of iron, as an active ingredient. Iron is needed to make hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen around the body. Take Fevincio Tablet as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.

High phosphate levels in blood
Our body needs phosphate for various life functions such as strengthening of bones and teeth, production of energy and forming outer layers of cells in our body called cell membrane. But too much phosphate in our blood can cause serious complications such as heart attack, stroke as well as kidney damage. Fevincio Tablet helps to lower the phosphate levels in our blood and prevents these complications particularly in patients who are on dialysis and are unable to get rid of excess phosphate levels through kidneys. Take Fevincio Tablet as prescribed by the doctor to get the most of this medicine.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Fevincio Tablet is an iron salt. When used to lower phosphate level in blood, it works by binding to the phosphates taken through diet, and limits their absorption. When used to treat iron deficiency, it works by converting to the ferrous form (Fe2+) allowing the absorption of the iron component in the same form as dietary iron. Fevincio Tablet is a ferric salt. It works by binding with the phosphate in the stomach that is acquired from the food, then it gets precipitated into ferric phosphate. This ferric phosphate is flushed out of the body via stool to prevent the absorption of phosphate in the body. This is how it regulates the level of phosphate in the body.
