Hi,

Both Orofer xt and Anofer xt contains iron. Any of the two drugs can be taken. Both are iron tablets and can be used in anemia treatment. Only difference is Anofer xt contains iron, folic acid and many other vitamins where as Orofer xt contains only iron and folic acid.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
