Introduction About SEDER OM TABLET
Seder OM Tablet is a nutritional supplement containing elemental iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C. Doctors commonly advise this combination to help maintain nutritional balance. Always use as directed by your healthcare provider.
Iron is an essential micronutrient that gives the red blood cells the reddish-brown colour and the capacity to transport oxygen. It improves oxygen levels in the body and corrects tiredness, weakness and shortness of breath caused due to anemia.
Folic acid and Vitamin B12 improve the production of red blood count within the body which helps in reducing tiredness and other signs caused due to anemia. They can also maintain a healthy nervous system and manage damage to brain cells and nerves.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant with immune boosting properties. It stimulates the activity of antibodies and immune cells in the body which helps in management of seasonal infections like common cold, flu, cough, sore throat, etc.
It also increases the absorption of iron taken through diet or as supplementation and boosts collagen levels in the body, which promotes the growth of healthy bones, teeth, cartilages, skin and hair.
Always take Seder OM Tablet as advised by your doctor. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine. Do not exceed the daily recommended dosages. Before taking Seder OM Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing disease condition as a precaution.

How SEDER OM TABLET Works
1. Iron (Ferric Pyrophosphate) - Haemoglobin Formation
- Provides elemental iron as building block for haemoglobin structure
- Liposomal delivery improves gastrointestinal absorption vs traditional iron salts
- Enables oxygen transport capacity in red blood cells?
2. Folic Acid - DNA Synthesis & Cell Division
- Essential co-factor for DNA and RNA synthesis in rapidly dividing cells
- Supports normal red blood cell maturation in bone marrow
- Prevents macrocytic red cell formation?
3. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) - Cell Metabolism
- Works with folic acid in one-carbon metabolism cycle
- Supports healthy myelin sheath formation for nerve function
- Aids red blood cell production and prevents megaloblastic changes?
4. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) - Absorption Enhancement
- Converts ferric iron (Fe3+) to absorbable ferrous form (Fe2+) in stomach
- Protects iron from oxidation during absorption process
- Provides antioxidant protection to red blood cell

Drug - Drug interaction
Medications that REDUCE Iron Absorption (2-Hour Gap Required):
- Antacids (aluminium/magnesium hydroxide) – bind iron in stomach
- Calcium supplements – form insoluble complexes with iron
- Tetracycline antibiotics – chelate iron, reduce antibiotic effectiveness
- Quinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) – impaired absorption both ways
- Thyroid hormones (levothyroxine) – iron interferes with thyroid absorption
- Proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole, pantoprazole) – reduce stomach acid needed for iron release
- Bisphosphonates (alendronate) – compete for absorption sites?
Vitamin B12 Interactions:
- Metformin – long-term use may reduce B12 absorption
- Proton pump inhibitors – reduce stomach acid needed for B12 release from food?
Folic Acid Interactions:
- Antiepileptics (phenytoin, carbamazepine) – accelerate folic acid breakdown
- Methotrexate – folic acid antagonist (discuss with oncologist)?
Drug - Food interaction
Foods/Drinks that BLOCK Iron (Avoid 2 Hours Before/After):
HIGH BLOCKERS (Strict 2hr spacing):
• Tea/ coffee/ milk
• Calcium-fortified juices
• Egg yolks
• Whole grains
MODERATE BLOCKERS (1hr spacing):
