GesticareTM is indicated for use in improving the nutritional status of women throughout pregnancy and in the postnatal period for both lactating and nonlactating mothers. GesticareTM is also beneficial in improving the nutritional status of women prior to conception.

Gesticare is a light pink-coated oblong-shaped tablet with 'P-114' embossed on one side of the tablet. The formulation has been designed to avoid interference of calcium and iron absorption through a pH-dependent biphasic release of these minerals at different sites in the gastrointestinal tract. The immediate-release iron dissolves at gastric pH, while the delayed-release enteric coated calcium granules dissolve in the small intestine at a pH of 5.5 or higher.
