Description

Dried Ferrous Sulphate + Elemental Iron + Folic Acid Tablets

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of high-potency hematinic formulations. We provide high-stability Dried Ferrous Sulphate & Folic Acid Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Red Cell Recharger” is a top export to antenatal care (ANC) programs, anemia control units, and government health ministries in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, specifically formulated to meet WHO guidelines for the prevention and treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).

Product Overview

This formulation combines Dried Ferrous Sulphate (the gold standard for iron delivery) with Folic Acid.

The “Elemental Equivalence” Specialist:

• Mechanism (The Iron Core): The active moiety is Elemental Iron ($Fe^{++}$). Ferrous Sulphate is the salt form used to deliver this iron. We use the Dried (Exsiccated) form because it has a higher percentage of elemental iron (approx 30-33%) compared to the hydrated form (20%), allowing for a smaller tablet size without compromising potency.
  • Note: 200 mg Dried Ferrous Sulphate provides exactly 65 mg Elemental Iron.
• Mechanism (Folic Acid): Essential for the maturation of red blood cells (RBCs) and DNA synthesis. In pregnancy, it prevents neural tube defects.
• Synergy: Iron builds the Hemoglobin (Hb), while Folic Acid builds the RBC nucleus. Both are required to treat nutritional anemia effectively.

Product Composition & Strength

We supply this product as Sugar Coated or Film Coated Tablets (typically Red, Brown, or Maroon). The coating acts as an oxidation barrier.

*Pack Sizes: Blister packs of 10s, 14s, 30s (Monthly Cycle), or Bulk HDPE Jars of 1000s (Hospital Packs).

Technical & Logistics Specifications

Critical data for Pharmaceutical Importers and Distributors.

Manufacturing Authority

Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.

• Oxidation Control: Ferrous iron ($Fe^{2+}$) is unstable and oxidizes to Ferric iron ($Fe^{3+}$) in humid conditions, which is useless to the body. We use Moisture-Resistant Coatings and low-humidity manufacturing suites to ensure the iron remains in the bioavailable Ferrous state.
• Gastric Release: Optimized disintegration time ensures the iron is released in the duodenum (primary absorption site) rather than the stomach, reducing gastric irritation (nausea/pain).

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the prevention and treatment of iron and folate deficiency:

• Pregnancy (Routine Care): Prevention of maternal anemia, low birth weight, and preterm birth.
• Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA): Treatment of anemia due to malnutrition, hookworm infestation, or heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Lactation: Replenishing maternal iron stores post-delivery.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):

• Route: Oral.
• Prophylaxis (Adults): One tablet daily (providing 60-65mg Elemental Iron).
• Treatment (Anemia): One tablet twice daily until Hemoglobin levels normalize (approx 3 months).
• Administration (The “Empty Stomach” Rule):
  • Best: Take on an empty stomach (1 hour before food) with water or orange juice (Vitamin C enhances absorption).
  • Avoid: Do not take with Tea, Coffee, Milk, or Calcium supplements (they block absorption).

Safety Warnings:

• Dark Stools: Inform patients that stools will turn black/tarry. This is normal and harmless.
• Pediatric Danger (WARNING): Keep out of reach of children. Iron overdose is highly toxic and fatal in young children.
• GI Effects: Nausea, constipation, or diarrhea may occur. Taking with food reduces side effects but lowers absorption by ~40%.
