WHAT X IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
X is a form of iron that can be taken by mouth to treat or prevent
iron deficiency. Iron is
essential for transport of oxygen and for energy transfer in the body.
The capsules are called
gastro-resistant because they do not release their contents in the
stomach. They deliver the iron
to your gut where it can be absorbed.
Niferex is used for the treatment of iron deficiency.
