Eldofer

Eldofer is a branded generic hematinic supplement marketed by El-Dorado Biotech (Eldora). It is a combination product typically formulated with Ferrous Ascorbate and Folic Acid (Vitamin B9). Ferrous Ascorbate is a synthetic conjugate of ascorbic acid and ferrous iron, designed to provide high bioavailability and reduced gastrointestinal side effects compared to other iron salts. It serves to replenish iron stores necessary for the production of hemoglobin, which is essential for oxygen transport in the blood. Folic Acid is included to support erythropoiesis and nucleoprotein synthesis, and it is particularly critical during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Eldofer is primarily indicated for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia and as a nutritional supplement during pregnancy and lactation.
