Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE TRICON™ is a multifactor preparation effective in the treatment of anemias that respond to oral hematinics, including pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias and also irondeficiency anemia.

Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION One capsule twice a day. (Two capsules daily produce a standard response in the average uncomplicated case of pernicious anemia.)
