Ferrous Fumarate 322mg Tablets contain ferrous fumarate, a form of iron used to treat and prevent iron deficiency. Iron is essential for producing haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. When iron levels are low, the body produces fewer and smaller red blood cells, resulting in iron deficiency anaemia.
Ferrous Fumarate Tablets help restore iron levels when diet alone is not sufficient.
Iron deficiency occurs when the body does not have enough iron to produce healthy red blood cells. It is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies.
