Servings Per Container

Best Time to Take

On an empty stomach (1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) for optimal absorption; may be taken with food to reduce stomach upset, avoiding dairy and high-fiber foods.

Recommended Daily Intake

Adult men: 8mg/day elemental iron; Adult women (19-50 years): 18mg/day; Pregnant women: 27mg/day; Iron deficiency treatment: 100-200mg elemental iron/day under medical supervision.

Absorption Enhancers

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) significantly enhances absorption; acidic gastric environment; taking on an empty stomach.

Absorption Inhibitors

Calcium, dairy products, antacids, proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, tea, coffee, phytates (whole grains, legumes), oxalates, and high-fiber foods reduce absorption; take at least 2 hours apart from these.

Safety & Warnings

Contraindications

Contraindicated in iron overload states (e.g., hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis) and in patients with hypersensitivity to ferrous sulfate or any excipients; also contraindicated in anemias not due to iron deficiency (including hemolytic anemia unless iron deficiency is confirmed).

Pregnancy Safety

Breastfeeding Safety

Safe

Children Suitability

Consult a physician before use in children; pediatric dosing is weight-based and differs from adult dosing; accidental overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6.

Interactions

Supplement Interactions

Calcium supplements compete for absorption - take separately; zinc and magnesium may reduce iron absorption; avoid concurrent use with other iron-containing supplements.

Synergistic Nutrients

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) enhances non-heme iron absorption; Vitamin B12 and folate support red blood cell production alongside iron.

Special Populations

Children Suitability

Consult a physician before use in children; pediatric dosing is weight-based and differs from adult dosing; accidental overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6.

Patient Counseling

For FEROMIN (ferrous sulfate 190 mg) film‑coated tablet: Take by mouth preferably on an empty stomach (about 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) to maximize absorption; if gastrointestinal upset occurs, it may be taken with a small amount of food. Avoid taking around the dose with milk/dairy, calcium supplements, antacids, tea/coffee, or high‑fiber/high‑phytate foods as they reduce absorption. Taking with vitamin C (e.g., orange juice) can enhance absorption. Swallow the film‑coated tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Separate from interacting medicines (especially tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, levothyroxine, bisphosphonates, and antacids/calcium) by at least 2 hours; use 4 hours separation for levothyroxine and preferably for tetracyclines/fluoroquinolones. Dark/black stools are expected; constipation, nausea, and abdominal discomfort can occur. Continue therapy for the prescribed duration (often several months and typically ~3 months after hemoglobin normalizes) to replenish iron stores. Keep out of reach of children-accidental iron overdose can be fatal.

Science & Evidence

Bioavailability Form

Ferrous Sulfate (Fe2+) - a highly soluble and bioavailable divalent ferrous iron form compared to ferric (Fe3+) salts, with an absorption rate of approximately 20-30% in iron-deficient individuals.
