What does it do?

Ferrous sulfate is a form of iron that is used to replenish iron deficiency in the body. It is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of anemia and provides the iron necessary for the production of red blood cells in the blood.

Ferrous sulfate absorbed in the body is converted to iron and helps in the synthesis of hemoglobin, which is essential for red blood cell production. This improves the ability to transport oxygen and alleviates symptoms of anemia.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
