Ferrous fumarate tablets are a type of iron supplement used to treat or prevent iron-deficiency anemia. Iron is an essential mineral that is required for the production of hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. Iron-deficiency anemia occurs when there is not enough iron in the body to produce adequate amounts of hemoglobin.
It is a condition which occurs when you have an abnormally low amount of red blood cells. Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, a red pigment which gives blood its colour. Haemoglobin’s job is to carry oxygen around the body. When red blood cells and therefore haemoglobin are low the blood fails to supply the body’s tissues with sufficient amounts of oxygen. As your lungs and heart will then have to work harder to get oxygen into the blood, symptoms of anaemia, such as difficulty in breathing will begin to develop. Women are mainly affected by anaemia during pregnancy or those who suffer with heavy periods.
There is not usually one cause, however, the following are reasons why anaemia may develop:
Ferrous fumarate tablets contain a form of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. They are typically taken orally with a glass of water or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and frequency of use to avoid side effects such as constipation, stomach upset, or nausea.
Iron supplements should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as too much iron can be harmful to the body. In addition, it is important to maintain a balanced diet that includes foods rich in iron, such as red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, dark leafy greens, and fortified cereals.
