Description

Dried Ferrous Sulfate & Folic Acid Tablets

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of high-stability hematinics. We provide high-purity Dried Ferrous Sulfate & Folic Acid Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Red Blood Cell Booster” is a top export to maternal health clinics, anemia control programs, and government health ministries in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as the standard-of-care for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) and prophylaxis during pregnancy.

Product Overview

This formulation contains Dried Ferrous Sulfate (Exsiccated), the gold standard for oral iron therapy due to its high bioavailability, combined with Folic Acid.

The “Hemoglobin Architect” Specialist:

• Mechanism (Iron): Ferrous Sulfate provides Elemental Iron ($Fe^{2+}$), which is the core component of the Heme group in Hemoglobin. It is essential for oxygen transport. Using the Dried (Exsiccated) form removes the water of crystallization found in the heptahydrate form, resulting in a higher concentration of iron per mg of salt (approx 30% elemental iron) and better stability.
• Mechanism (Folic Acid): A B-complex vitamin crucial for DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation. In pregnancy, it is vital for preventing Neural Tube Defects (spina bifida) in the developing fetus.
• Synergy: Anemia is often dimorphic (caused by lack of both Iron and Folate). This combination treats both Microcytic (Iron deficient) and Megaloblastic (Folate deficient) anemia simultaneously.

Product Composition & Strength

We supply this product as Sugar Coated or Film Coated Tablets (typically Red or Brown). The coating masks the metallic taste and protects the iron from oxidation.

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

• Stability Engineering: Ferrous Sulfate is hygroscopic and prone to oxidation (turning from green/white to brown/yellow rust). We use Exsiccated (Dried) Ferrous Sulfate which is more stable than the hydrous form, and apply moisture-barrier coatings to ensure a 24-36 month shelf life in tropical climates.
• Gastric Tolerance: To reduce the common side effects of nausea and gastric pain, our tablets are formulated to disintegrate in the duodenum rather than the stomach, improving patient compliance.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the prevention and treatment of nutritional anemias:

• Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA): Treatment of anemia caused by chronic blood loss (menstruation, hookworm), poor diet, or malabsorption.
• Pregnancy Prophylaxis: Routine supplementation during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters to prevent maternal anemia and low birth weight.
• Post-Surgical Recovery: Restoration of blood levels after surgery or trauma.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):

• Route: Oral.
• Adults (Therapeutic): 1 tablet (containing 60-100mg elemental iron) twice daily.
• Pregnancy (Prophylactic): 1 tablet daily.
• Administration (CRITICAL):
  • Best taken on an empty stomach (1 hour before meals) for maximum absorption.
  • If gastric upset occurs, take with food (though this reduces absorption by ~40%).
  • Avoid: Tea, Coffee, Milk, and Antacids within 2 hours of dosing (they block iron absorption).
  • Enhance: Take with Vitamin C (Orange Juice) to increase absorption.

Safety Warnings:

• Black Stools: Warn patients that stools will turn dark black. This is harmless unabsorbed iron.
• Keep Out of Reach of Children (WARNING): Iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children.
• Side Effects: Constipation, nausea, and abdominal cramping are common.
