What it is

Why it’s used

Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anaemia.
Useful when folate intake may also be insufficient (e.g., pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum) as advised by a clinician.

Key Features

Modified-release core designed to help improve gastrointestinal tolerance.
Convenient once-daily dosing for most adults.
Film-coated tablets to be swallowed whole.

FAQs

Can I take this during pregnancy?

Many people are advised iron and folate during pregnancy, but only on medical advice. Your midwife or doctor will confirm the right product and dose for you based on blood tests and dietary intake.

Why can’t I chew the tablets?

They are modified-release. Chewing or crushing may irritate the mouth or stomach and alter absorption.

Dosage

Adults and older children (as directed by a healthcare professional): usually one tablet daily.

Swallow whole with water; do not crush, chew, or suck the tablet.
Take on an empty stomach for best absorption (e.g., 1 hour before or 2 hours after food). If stomach upset occurs, take with a small amount of food.
If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it’s close to the next dose. Do not double dose.

Important: Dosing may vary based on blood tests and medical advice. Follow your doctor or pharmacist’s instructions.

How to Take

Avoid tea, coffee, dairy products, or calcium-rich foods within 2 hours of taking, as they can reduce iron absorption.
Separate from certain medicines (see Interactions) by the recommended interval.

Ingredients

Active: Ferrous sulfate 325 mg (≈105 mg elemental iron), Folic acid 0.35 mg.
Excipients: Film-coating and tablet base ingredients (see pack leaflet for full list).

Warnings & Precautions

Iron products are a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children. Keep out of the sight and reach of children at all times. If accidental overdose occurs, seek immediate medical attention.

Use exactly as directed. Do not exceed the stated dose.
If symptoms persist, worsen, or you experience unusual bleeding, contact a healthcare professional.
If you are taking any other medicines or supplements, ask your pharmacist or doctor about interactions.
This information is a general overview and does not replace medical advice. Diagnosis and monitoring of anaemia should be done by a healthcare professional.

Possible Side Effects

Common: nausea, stomach discomfort, constipation or diarrhoea, heartburn.
Harmless changes: dark stools are common with iron.
Stop use and seek advice if you have severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, allergic reactions (rash, swelling, breathing difficulty), or black/tarry stools with weakness or dizziness.

Interactions

Iron can interact with many medicines. Separate doses as follows unless your clinician advises otherwise:

Antacids, calcium, zinc, magnesium supplements: take iron at least 2 hours before or after.
Tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline, ciprofloxacin): separate by at least 2–4 hours.
Levothyroxine, bisphosphonates, penicillamine, methyldopa: separate by at least 2–4 hours.
Food & drink: tea, coffee, and high-fibre foods may reduce absorption if taken close to your dose.

Storage

Store below 25 °C in the original packaging to protect from moisture.
Keep the container tightly closed and out of sight and reach of children.
