Ferrous Sulfate Forums (Page 2)

can someone please tell me what these are? i found 7 small round dark greyish colored pills, they have no imprint on either side ## If there are no markings on them, it may be difficult to determine exactly what they contain. We can rule them out as being a prescription medication, because they are all required to have imprints to enable their identification. That means they are most likely an over the counter product and that leaves it open to quite a few possibilities. Learn more OTC drug details here. What is your general location? Some products are regional, so that may help to narrow it down. ## I found a large medium grey oval pills. They are unmarked but have a line going through the center on one side. Does anyone know what this may be? Anything dangerous? ## found a redish brow...

i need to know what the ingrediants are in this pill. ## The active ingredient is Ferrous Sulfate, which is an iron supplement, used to treat or prevent anemia.

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?

sounds like ## I think this person may have been seeking information on Ferrous Sulfate, which is the technical name for Iron, this is the form that's commonly used in supplements to treat anemia. It can cause some side effects, such as dark stool and constipation. It can also be dangerous if too much is taken, so please always follow your doctor's instructions. Are there any questions or comments?

pill for iron deficiency, anemia maybe otc ## ferrous sulfate ## In regards to these, this is just the chemical name for an iron supplement, there are both prescription and non-prescription supplements that are available. The appropriate one depends on how low someone's iron levels are, when tested. And there are also some conditions where adding additional iron is contraindicated and too much of it can be very dangerous, so please check with your doctor, before adding it. It can also cause side effects, such as nausea, joint aches, darkened stool and constipation. Are there any comments or questions?

hi!! i would just like to ask if it is safe to take ferrous sulfate with folic acid (200mg/400mcg) or just take Ferrous sulfate (325 mg) alone? im just wondering since im just 18 yrs old turning 19 and have noticed that i have low iron since i really have a pale skin and whenever i press my fingernails, it takes more seconds before it will go back to normal. i suppose i have low iron since even a pharmacist adviced me to take ferrous sulfate because i always looked like im sick. now, my sister has a friend in health center and gave me free ferrous sulfate + folic acid, manufactured by Nestor pharmaceuticals. I was just wondering if i should take it daily since the indication said its for : Fe-deficiency anemia & folate-deficient megaloblastic anemia. Folic acid deficiency in women o...

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.

Common side effects may include: nausea, dark colored stool and constipation. You can read more here: Do you have any other questions? ## I found several round black or dark green pills with either LI, L1 stamped on it.

Is this a generic sobotex its a small white pill blank on one side the other side reads NM 11 ## No, this tablet actually contains 65mgs of Ferrous Sulfate, the NM actually stands for the company Nature Made, they make over the counter vitamins and supplements. This is an iron supplement. Is there anything else I can help you with?
