Ferrous Fumarate tablets contain a form of Iron called Ferrous Fumarate. Iron is usually found in foods and is necessary for the normal development of red blood cells. A lack of Iron affects the development of red blood cells and causes an iron deficiency anaemia.

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 Tablets with meals may help to relieve any stomach related side effects.
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.

DO NOT take Ferrous Fumarate Tablets if:
• You know that you are allergic to ferrous fumarate or any of the other ingredients, or to any other medicine containing iron
• You have noticed blood in your urine
• You suffer from any form of anaemia, other than iron deficiency anaemia, or from any other condition where your body’s iron is affected (your doctor will be able to advise you)

• You are suffering from a recently diagnosed stomach or duodenal ulcer
