Ferrograd tablets contain the active ingredient ferrous sulfate, used to prevent and treat iron deficiency anaemia. You may be at higher risk of developing iron deficiency anaemia if you are pregnant, have heavy periods, eat a diet lacking in vitamins and minerals, or if you have intestinal disorders like Crohn's disease and coeliac disease. Most people with iron deficiency anaemia feel better after one week of taking ferrous sulfate, but it can take up to four weeks to take full effect.
Recommended adult dose:
The recommended dosage for adults and children over the age of 12 years old is one tablet a day on an empty stomach. If Ferrograd tablets upset your stomach, however, take them with or after food.
Please note: some foods such as tea, eggs and milk may reduce the amount of iron absorbed by the body. Swallow these tablets whole with water - do not suck, chew or keep these tablets in your mouth.
