Ferromet Tablet 10's

Ferromet Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medications called haematinics, primarily used to treat anaemia (lack of blood) and folic acid deficiency that occurs mainly due to poor diet, poor absorption of food, or increased folate use in the body (in pregnancy). Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen required by various body tissues.

Ferromet Tablet 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ferrous fumarate (an iron supplement) and folic acid (a form of vitamin B9). Ferromet Tablet 10's works by increasing red blood cells (RBC) and haemoglobin (a protein) production in the body. As a result, an adequate number of RBCs are produced in the body so that the body's tissue gets a sufficient supply of oxygen.

Take Ferromet Tablet 10's as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience vomiting, nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, stomach pain or a change in the colour of the stool. Most of these side effects of Ferromet Tablet 10's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

• Ferromet Tablet 10's is recommended to be taken on an empty stomach, usually 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals, as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Swallow Ferromet Tablet 10's as a whole with a glass of water.
• Do not chew, crush or break it.

• Ferromet Tablet 10's contains two active ingredients: Ferrous fumarate (an iron supplement) and folic acid (a form of vitamin B9).
• Ferrous fumarate helps increase red blood cell (RBC) and haemoglobin production in the body, improving oxygen delivery to tissues.
• Folic acid supports the formation of healthy cells and is especially important for women of childbearing age.
• During pregnancy, folic acid plays a key role in the development of the baby's brain and spinal cord.
• Ferromet Tablet 10's is commonly used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia.
• It helps improve energy levels, reduce fatigue, and support overall health by correcting low iron and folate levels.
• Ferromet Tablet 10's may also be recommended during pregnancy to meet increased nutritional needs and support fetal development.

• Do not take Ferromet Tablet 10's if you are allergic to ferrous fumarate, folic acid, or any of its ingredients. Always inform your doctor about known allergies.
• Keep out of reach of children, as accidental iron overdose can be life-threatening, especially in children under six.
• Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under medical supervision. While folic acid and iron are often recommended during pregnancy, the exact dosage and timing should be guided by a healthcare professional.
• Avoid use in certain conditions such as iron overload (e.g., hemochromatosis), hemolytic anaemia, or if you’re receiving repeated blood transfusions, unless suggested by a doctor.
• Folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, especially in cases like pernicious anaemia. This can delay diagnosis and allow nerve damage to progress, so medical supervision is essential.
• Use with caution in gastrointestinal conditions, such as ulcers, ulcerative colitis, or malabsorption. Always inform your doctor of any such history.
• Some foods and medications can interfere with absorption, including antacids, tea, coffee, dairy, and whole grains. Take the supplement away from such items for a better effect.
