FERROUS GLUCONATE TABLETS — IRON SUPPLEMENTATION

HIGH-ABSORPTION ESSENTIAL MINERAL FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA. DISCREETLY DELIVERED ACROSS NIGERIA AND WORLDWIDE.

What It Does

Ferrous Gluconate is an oral iron supplement that supplies the body with elemental iron, a critical component required for the production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body. Ferrous gluconate is generally considered gentler on the digestive tract and less likely to cause severe gastrointestinal irritation compared to other iron salts like ferrous sulfate.

What It Treats

• Iron Deficiency Anemia: Restoring depleted iron stores and raising low hemoglobin levels.

• Pregnancy-Induced Anemia: Meeting the increased maternal and fetal demands for iron during pregnancy.

• Dietary Deficiency: Supplementing daily iron intake in individuals with restricted diets or poor nutrient absorption.

• Blood Loss Recovery: Assisting the body in rebuilding red blood cells following surgery, childbirth, or heavy menstrual bleeding.

Who It's For

• ✅ Adults and Adolescents diagnosed with iron deficiency or microcytic anemia.

• ✅ Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women requiring supplemental iron to support fetal growth and milk production.

• ✅ Blood Donors or Post-Surgical Patients recovering from significant blood loss.

• ❌ Not suitable for individuals with iron overload disorders (such as hemochromatosis or hemosiderosis), hemolytic anemia (unless also iron deficient), or those receiving repeated blood transfusions.

Dosage

• Treatment of Deficiency: Typically 1 to 2 tablets taken two to three times daily, depending on the severity of the anemia and medical advice.

• Prophylaxis/Dietary Supplementation: Usually 1 tablet daily is sufficient to maintain healthy iron balance.

💡 For maximum absorption, take your tablet on an empty stomach with a glass of water or citrus juice (Vitamin C enhances iron uptake). If stomach upset occurs, it may be taken immediately after a meal.

Key Ingredient

• Ferrous Gluconate (typically providing 35mg to 38mg of elemental iron per tablet): A highly bioavailable organic iron salt optimized for gastrointestinal compatibility.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include dark or black stools (this is completely harmless and normal for iron therapy), mild constipation, diarrhea, temporary nausea, or abdominal cramps. WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in young children. Always store this medication securely out of reach of children.

FAQs

Why does this medication make my stools look black?

This is a standard and completely harmless reaction. It occurs because your body does not absorb 100% of the oral iron, and the unabsorbed mineral turns black as it passes through your digestive system.

Can I take my iron tablet with my morning tea or coffee?

No. Tannins in tea and coffee, as well as calcium in dairy products, significantly block the absorption of iron. Avoid consuming these foods or drinks within 2 hours of taking your supplement.

How long will it take for my blood counts to improve?

You may start to feel less fatigued within a few weeks, but it typically takes 2 to 3 months of consistent daily supplementation to fully correct anemia and rebuild your body's structural iron stores.
