Rb-Red XT

Rb-Red XT Syrup usually starts working within a few hours of taking it. If you are taking it for iron deficiency anemia, you may start feeling better after a few weeks of taking it. In case you are taking it during pregnancy, you may not notice any difference but this does not mean that the dose is not working. Continue taking Rb-Red XT Syrup for the duration recommended by your doctor.

Animal studies on Rb-Red XT Syrup suggest that taking the medicine in excess along with a high-fat diet may lead to weight gain and fat accumulation. But this weight gain was not evident when taken along with a normal or low fat diet, even with excess Rb-Red XT Syrup. In humans, similar studies have not been conducted and therefore knowledge regarding weight gain is lacking. Therefore, if you are on Rb-Red XT Syrup then avoid excess Rb-Red XT Syrup and eat a low fat meal to be on a safer side.

Maintaining the right level of iron and folic acid in the body before getting pregnant reduces the risk of developing neural tube defects in the baby. Neural tube effect, in most cases, is caused if the structure (neural tube) from which the central nervous system develops (brain and spinal cord) in a baby does not form or is only partially closed. Full closure of the neural tube occurs during the end of the fourth week of pregnancy. Folic acid helps in the formation of neural tubes. Therefore, to prevent this defect women should start Rb-Red XT Syrup before four weeks of pregnancy.

Yes, you can breastfeed while taking Rb-Red XT Syrup as it is not harmful for the baby. Rb-Red XT Syrup contains folic acid as an active ingredient which is naturally found in the breast milk. It also contains iron but iron does not pass through breast milk. Though initial levels of folic acid in the breast milk are low, it rises eventually. Since it is actively secreted in breast milk, mother may take Rb-Red XT Syrup every day to maintain the required levels. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions related to nutrient supplementation in breastfeeding.

You can take Rb-Red XT Syrup any time of the day, but try to take it at the same time each day. This will help you remember to take it. Take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The medicine should be swallowed as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, cut or crush the medicine.
