  • Ferrous Sulfate Tablets Medication Description

    Ferrous sulfate 325 mg tablets are commonly prescribed to treat iron deficiency anemia, a condition where the body lacks enough iron to produce healthy red blood cells. Each tablet contains 65 mg of elemental iron, which helps restore iron levels and support hemoglobin production. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body, and low levels can lead to fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. This medication is especially useful during periods of increased iron demand. Ferrous sulfate is absorbed in the small intestine, and its effectiveness can be influenced by other substances. Vitamin C enhances absorption, while calcium, antacids, and certain foods may reduce it. It is typically taken once daily, and while it is best absorbed on an empty stomach, taking it with food may help reduce stomach upset. Patients should follow dosing instructions carefully and avoid taking it with medications that may interact, such as thyroid medications and certain antibiotics. Regular blood tests may be recommended to monitor iron levels and ensure safe and effective treatment.
  • Ferrous Sulfate Tablets Side Effects

    Common side effects of ferrous sulfate include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, and dark-colored stools. These effects are usually mild and improve with continued use or dietary adjustments. Serious risks include iron overload, especially in individuals with underlying conditions like hemochromatosis or those receiving frequent blood transfusions. Accidental overdose, particularly in children, can be fatal and requires immediate medical attention. Patients should avoid taking ferrous sulfate with antacids or calcium-rich foods, and report any signs of allergic reaction, severe abdominal pain, or vomiting blood to their healthcare provider.
