Ferospat and Formom: Two Optimal Supplement Choices for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Mothers
Jakarta, April 23, 2025 – Anemia during pregnancy remains a serious health concern in Indonesia. According to the 2018 Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), 48.9% of pregnant women experience anemia. This condition directly impacts the increased risk of premature birth, stunting, and even maternal death during childbirth. Furthermore, anemia causes concentration problems, fatigue, and decreased immunity in women.
As part of its commitment to supporting a healthy Indonesian generation, PT Pyridam Farma Tbk (PYFAGROUP), through its consumer health business unit — PYFAHEALTH — has launched two flagship products: Ferospat, an iron supplement for pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and the elderly, and Formom, a vitamin and mineral supplement for use throughout pregnancy.
The launch took place during a health talk show titled “Essential Nutrition for Realizing a Healthy Generation with PYFAHEALTH,” held at Twin House Cipete, Jakarta.
Ferospat & Formom are two vitamin and mineral supplement options that help meet the needs for iron, folic acid, vitamins, and other minerals to support the Nutritional Needs of Pregnant Women.
Ferospat comes in the form of effervescent tablets (water-soluble tablets) with a pleasant strawberry flavor, containing iron, vitamin B12, vitamin C, folic acid, and other essential minerals that play a role in helping meet daily needs, which is also important in helping prevent iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The effervescent form of Ferospat will make it easier for pregnant women experiencing nausea to still meet their iron needs.
Meanwhile, Formom contains a combination of 8 vitamins and 5 minerals, including iron, folic acid, beta-carotene as an antioxidant, vitamin C, and calcium for bone growth. Formom is specifically formulated as a prenatal multivitamin and mineral supplement essential for pregnancy. For pregnant women who prioritize nutritional intake that supports and provides comfort in consuming supplements, this product is an effective choice with a complete content of vitamins and minerals, especially becoming a better option than general pregnancy supplements.
Supported by Experts & Practitioners, the “Great Women, Strong Generation” Campaign is Launched
During the launch event, PYFAHEALTH presented expert speakers such as dr. Matthew Simangunsong, Sp.OG (obstetrician and gynecologist) and Bidan Ony Christy, widely known as Bidan Kriwil, who is also a key opinion leader in maternal and child health.
“Nutritional fulfillment during pregnancy is not just about the mother’s health, but also about a long-term investment in the quality of future generations. Deficiencies in iron and essential vitamins must be prevented as early as possible,” said dr. Matthew.
At this event, PYFAHEALTH also introduced a campaign titled “Great Women, Strong Generation,” as a form of support for Indonesian women to be more aware of the importance of proper nutrition from pregnancy.
“Through this campaign, we want to encourage easy-to-understand nutrition education and access to quality products like Ferospat and Formom. The hope is that Indonesian women can become agents of change in creating a healthy, intelligent, and strong generation,” said Adi Prabowo, Head of Marketing and Business Integration PYFAGROUP.
Currently, Ferospat and Formom are widely available on various e-commerce platforms and leading pharmacy chains in Indonesia.
