The Gold Standard in Hematinics: Export Quality Ferrous Sulphate & Folic Acid Tablets
By Healthy Inc | Global Pharmaceutical Exporter & Manufacturer
Healthy Inc is proud to present our premier hematinic formulation: Dried Ferrous Sulphate & Folic Acid Tablets. As a specialized global supplier, we provide this “WHO Essential” medicine sourced directly from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities.
Recognized globally as the most cost-effective first-line therapy for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA), our formulation is a top export choice for Ministry of Health tenders, UNICEF aid programs, and hospital formularies across Africa, Latin America (LATAM), and Southeast Asia.
Why This Formulation is the “Global Standard”
We do not simply manufacture tablets; we engineer stability and efficacy.
Dried Ferrous Sulphate (The Reference): Unlike standard hydrated forms, we use Dried (Exsiccated) Ferrous Sulphate. This yields a higher concentration of elemental iron (~30% by weight) and ensures the tablet remains physically stable without “sweating” in tropical climates. It dissociates rapidly to release Ferrous ions ($Fe^{2+}$) for immediate absorption.
Folic Acid Synergy: Iron alone cannot cure anemia if red blood cells are malformed. Folic acid is critical for the proper maturation of RBCs and is essential during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects.
Superior Coating: We supply Sugar Coated (Traditional Red) or Film Coated tablets. This coating is non-negotiable to mask the metallic taste and prevent gastric oxidation.
Product Composition & Strength
We offer flexible pack sizes including Blister packs (10s, 14s, 28s) and Bulk HDPE Jars (1000s/5000s) for hospital tenders.

Manufacturing Authority & Stability
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc, our manufacturing process addresses the two biggest challenges in iron supplementation: Oxidation and
Tolerance.Stabilization Process: Ferrous Sulphate turns brown/rust-colored if exposed to moisture. We employ “low-humidity” compression suites and specific chelating agents to keep the iron in the absorb able Ferrous state ($Fe^{2+}$) rather than the non-absorb able Ferric state ($Fe^{3+}$).
Gastric Tolerance: To reduce nausea and gastric pain, our tablets feature a dissolution profile that avoids “dose dumping” in the stomach, releasing iron gradually as it enters the duodenum.
Therapeutic Indications & Dosage
Pregnancy & Lactation: WHO-recommended prophylaxis to support maternal blood volume.
Nutritional Anemia: Treatment for dietary deficiency or absorption.
Post-Hemorrhagic Anemia: Rapid hemoglobin restoration after surgery or trauma.
Usage Guidelines:
Prophylaxis: 1 tablet daily.
Treatment: 1 tablet, 2-3 times daily.
Administration: Best taken on an empty stomach with water or Vitamin C juice. Avoid tea, coffee, or milk as they block absorption.
Safety Note: Iron therapy may cause stools to turn dark green or black; this is harmless. Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental overdose.
