Description

Ferrous Fumarate 210mg Tablets

Ferrous Fumarate 210mg Tablets contain a form of iron called ferrous fumarate and are used to prevent or treat iron deficiency anaemia. Iron is usually found in foods and is necessary for the normal development of red blood cells.

The prevention of iron deficiency during pregnancy usually requires a combination of iron and folic acid.

Directions

It is important to take your medicine at the right time. You must take it as directed by your doctor. The label will tell you how much to take and how often. If you are not sure, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
  • The usual dose to treat iron deficiency anaemia is one tablet two to three times a day.
  • The dose for prevention of anaemia is one tablet once or twice a day.
Swallow the tablets with a glass of water. You can also chew or crush the tablets. Taking Ferrous Fumarate 210mg Tablets with meals may help to relieve any stomach related side effects, however it is advisable not to take your medicine with tea, eggs or milk as this may reduce the effect of the tablets.

Your doctor will advise you on how long you should take the tablets. You can stop taking the tablets three months after the anaemia has been corrected. You should not take the tablets for more than six months.
