Description

Ferrograd 325mg Tablets are a slow-release iron supplement specifically designed to treat and manage iron deficiency anaemia by providing a gradual release of iron throughout the day. The active ingredient, dried ferrous sulphate, helps restore iron levels and supports the production of haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells. This extended-release formula minimizes the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort, allowing for better tolerance in individuals who may experience side effects with standard iron supplements.

  • Ferrograd 325mg Tablets – Each tablet contains approximately 105mg of elemental iron, sufficient to meet daily iron needs for those with low iron levels.

  • Administration: Swallow whole with water, preferably on an empty stomach to enhance absorption, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
