What is Maxfe?
Maxfe is a brand-name prescription iron and vitamin supplement to treat iron-deficiency anemia and folate-deficiency anemia caused by poor nutrition, pregnancy, illness, or other reasons. Anemia is a condition in which there are not enough red blood cells to carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Iron is the key element in red blood cells for transporting oxygen and folate is crucial in building red blood cells.
In addition to iron, Maxfe includes vitamin B9, vitamin B7, vitamin C, and minerals that are vital to the body's production of red blood cells and the proteins, such as hemoglobin, that incorporate iron into their molecules. Maxfe also includes docusate, a stool softener that helps offset constipation that is often a side effect of taking iron pills.
What are the side effects of Maxfe?
Common side effects of Maxfe include but are not limited to upset stomach, stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, or black or bloody stools. Allergic reactions to carbonyl iron and the other nutrients in Maxfe are extremely rare.
The docusate in Maxfe is intended to alleviate constipation as a side effect of the iron. Common side effects of docusate include, but are not limited to, bloating, cramping, diarrhea, gas, and throat irritation.
Although iron is a naturally occurring and critical part of our diet, overdosing on iron can lead to iron poisoning and even death. Always follow your doctor's instructions or the suggested dosage on the supplement.
