Description
Ferrous Sulphate Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of essential hematinic agents. We provide high-purity Dried Ferrous Sulphate Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This “Gold Standard” iron supplement is a top export to antenatal clinics, government nutrition programs (WIC/ANC), and hospital formularies in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, recognized worldwide as the most cost-effective and efficacious treatment for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA).
Product Overview
This formulation contains Dried Ferrous Sulphate, the reference standard against which all other iron salts are measured.
The “Hemoglobin Builder” Specialist:
- Mechanism: Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin (in red blood cells), myoglobin (in muscle), and various enzymes. Ferrous Sulphate provides Elemental Iron ($Fe^{2+}$) which is absorbed in the duodenum and upper jejunum. It is then transported to the bone marrow to synthesize new hemoglobin, correcting microcytic hypochromic anemia.
- High Elemental Iron: We use Dried Ferrous Sulphate (approx. 30–33% elemental iron), which allows for a smaller tablet size compared to the hydrated form (heptahydrate), while delivering a potent therapeutic dose.
- Rapid Response: Typically raises hemoglobin levels by 0.7 to 1.0 g/dL per week when absorbed correctly.
Product Composition & Strength
We supply this product as Sugar Coated Tablets (Red/Brown) or Film Coated Tablets. The sugar coating is critical to mask the strong, astringent metallic taste and prevent gastric nausea.

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- Oxidation Protection: Ferrous iron ($Fe^{2+}$) is unstable and readily oxidizes to Ferric iron ($Fe^{3+}$) which is poorly absorbed and brown in color. Our manufacturing process utilizes nitrogen purging during granulation and a robust sugar-coating barrier to lock out oxygen and moisture, ensuring the iron remains in the bioavailable ferrous state.
- Dissolution: Controlled release of iron in the upper GI tract to maximize absorption while minimizing the “dumping” effect that causes severe gastritis.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the prevention and treatment of Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA):
- Treatment of Anemia: Restoration of hemoglobin levels in patients with chronic blood loss (menorrhagia, ulcers) or nutritional deficiency.
- Pregnancy Prophylaxis: Prevention of anemia during the second and third trimesters (often used if Folic Acid is given separately).
- Post-Surgical Recovery: To rebuild blood stores after major surgery or trauma.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician):
- Route: Oral.
- Adults (Treatment): 200 mg (1 tablet) taken 2 to 3 times daily.
- Adults (Prevention): 200 mg (1 tablet) once daily.
- Administration Rules (Critical for Efficacy):
- Empty Stomach: Best absorbed 1 hour before meals. If gastric upset occurs, take with a light meal (though this reduces absorption by 40-50%).
- Vitamin C: Taking with orange juice or Vitamin C supplements significantly increases absorption.
- Blockers: Avoid tea, coffee, dairy products (calcium), and antacids within 2 hours of the dose, as they chemically bind iron and prevent absorption.
Safety Warnings:
- Black Stools: Patients will experience black or dark green stools. This is harmless unabsorbed iron but can mask GI bleeding.
- GI Side Effects: Nausea, constipation, epigastric pain, and diarrhea are dose-related.
- Child Safety (FATAL): Iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children. The sugar coating makes tablets look like candy. Keep strictly out of reach.
