Iromose-F 100/0.35mg Tablets contain Iron (III) Hydroxide Polymaltose Complex 100mg (equivalent to elemental iron) and Folic Acid 0.35mg. This combination is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia and folate deficiency, particularly during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in individuals with increased iron requirements.
