Function

Ferrous Sulphate tablets belong to a group of medicines called iron supplements. 

These medicines work by replacing body iron. Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells. 

When the body does not get enough iron, it cannot produce the number of normal red blood cells needed to keep you in good health. 

This condition is called iron-deficiency anaemia.

Benefits

Ferrous Sulphate tablets are used for the prevention and treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia.

Directions

Adults over 18 and the elderly

Treatment: 2-3 tablets a day in divided doses.

Prevention: 1 tablet a day.

Do not exceed the recommended intake.

Not recommended for children.

How to take these tablets

Ferrous Sulphate tablets should not be taken within one hour before or two hours after eating or drinking the following products: tea, coffee, milk, eggs and whole grains. These products can reduce the absorption of iron. Meat and products containing vitamin C can increase the absorption of iron. Follow the advice of your dietician or doctor when taking Ferrous Sulphate tablets with any of the food or drink listed.

Swallow the tablets whole with water. Although iron preparations are best absorbed on an empty stomach, they may be taken after food to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
