Ferrex 28 is an iron supplement that contains a combination of iron and vitamins, including vitamins C and B12 and folic acid (folate). The iron contained in Ferrex 28 will help your body build up healthy red-blood cells while the vitamin C assists in absorbing iron from your stomach. Vitamin B12 helps to keep your nervous system healthy and folic acid is important during pregnancy to reduce the risk of birth defects.

Iron is often given to treat anemia, and that is also the case with Ferrex 28, but the additional vitamins make it a good choice for recovery after surgery, for blood loss, and poor nutrition. By including meat, eggs, and dairy products in your diet you can improve your vitamin B12 levels and plenty of green vegetables will help to replenish folate in your body.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects that may occur while taking Ferrex 28 and report any that worsen or persist. Discuss your medical history and list any current OTC or Rx drugs you are taking, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements. It is possible that Ferrex 28 can interfere with the absorption of certain drugs so your dosing schedule may be arranged in this eventuality.
