Select Dose
Ferrous fumarate is an iron supplement that helps increase iron stores when dietary intake is insufficient or when iron needs are increased, such as during pregnancy, heavy menstrual periods, or following blood loss.
Iron deficiency anaemia can cause symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, and pale skin. Taking ferrous fumarate as directed helps improve these symptoms over time.
Tablets should be taken exactly as instructed. Iron supplements can interact with certain medicines and foods, which may reduce absorption. Treatment often needs to continue for several months to fully replenish iron stores, even after symptoms improve.
