Uses of Nefcit Tablet

Benefits of Nefcit Tablet

In 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. Nefcit 210mg 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 Nefcit 210mg Tablet as prescribed by the doctor to get the most of this medicine.

In 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. Nefcit 210mg 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 Nefcit 210mg Tablet as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.
