These compounds exist most commonly as the heptahydrate (x=7) but several values for x are known. The hydrated form is used medically to treat iron deficiency, and also for industrial applications. Known since ancient times as copperas and as green vitriol (vitriol is an archaic name for sulfate), the blue-green heptahydrate (hydrate with 7 molecules of water) is...

Is it safe to take Ferrous Sulfate if my iron meds have expired? ## Help, Nik! How are you? I have to be honest and say that I am not certain of the safety of this one. Iron can be very touchy. You could, however, call and ask your doctor or pharmacist. Alternatively, you could dispose of them and just pick up a new supply. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I'm 17 years old and I'm taking 1 tablet of Ferrous Sulfate once a day. But I'm also taking 1 1/2 tablets of Predisone twice a day and along with multiple other dosages of other medicines. Could this be the reason for the churning sick feeling in my stomach? ## I think it largely depends on what all the other medications are that you might be taking with it. Just about all prescription drugs can cause these types of side effects. Based on my research, Ferrous Sulfate does list "constipation" and "stomach upset" as side effects. It also mentions that you should tell your doctor if either of these symptoms are severe or do not go away. The only problem I see with pinpointing the culprit, is that Prednisone also lists this as side effect as well. And I can o...

I have been taking Ferrous Sulfate tablets (325 mg; 1 tablet 3 times per day) for the last month. My Hgb is still 87 and Hct 27.7 (both results are still low). These pills have been perscribed through the VA Clinic. My Family Physician says that he has had better results using the Poly Iron 150 than the Ferrous Sulfate. My question then is: If I order the Poly Iron tablets....at what dosage am I going to take them. Now taking 975 mg of ferrous sulfate and the poly iron is 150 mg. Would I take the same dosage of the Poly Iron to do any good? ## Hi Robert, How many tablets of Ferrous sulfate are you currently taking in order to reach 975mg? I think the maximum available dosage of this medication is 325mg, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Poly Iron (Polysaccharide-Iron Complex) may ...

Can I take the two together ferrous sulfate 325 mg and nitrofur mac cap 100mg? I am scared to take them both at the same time. ## Hello, Precious! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between them, so it should be fine, unless your doctor or pharmacist has instructed otherwise. The ferrous sulfate is just an iron supplement and the Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello Verwon. How are you? I am feeling better now that you replied. Thank you so much. This was very helpful. That's all I needed to know at this time. Have a great rest of the year!!!!

prescripion drug i9nformation ## does anyone know what Providual is and what is it used to treat? Thanks ## Ferrous Sulfate is an iron supplement, the FDA lists its most common side effects as possibly including nausea, constipation, and dark stool. The biggest precaution is to only take it as directed, because taking too much could be dangerous to your liver. Erin, I am sorry, I am not familiar with a medication under that name. Were you possibly referring to Provigil? It contains the active ingredient Modafinil and is used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy.

Tablets to cure anemia ## Ferrous sulfate is the correct name. Basically it is a supplemental form of Iron Salts. You can view more info in the link below... Obviously iron or iron absorption is lacking in the diet. If you want to avoid pills, you should naturally eat more iron rich foods, like spinach, hemp seeds, watermelon, and MANY more. Also try to eat more kiwi for their high vitamin C content. It is much higher than oranges and will help with iron absorption issues. There are a vast number of other foods with similar properties to help you naturally if this is the route you choose to take. Please post back if you have any other questions or comments to add.
