Ferrous Sulfate is available in a 300mg tablet that your doctor may recommend for treating or preventing iron anemia. This can be due to a lack of red blood cells caused by a pregnancy, a poor diet, or you have excessive bleeding or other medical problems that affects your iron levels. You may be fatigued, feel weak, have pale skin, cold hands/feet, or brittle nails, and experience chest pain. Without enough iron, your body cannot produce hemoglobin. This is a part of your red blood cells that allows oxygenated blood to be carried throughout your body.

Discuss your iron anemia with your doctor and follow a proper diet with foods that contain vitamin C to enhance the absorption of iron from foods such as seafood, red meat, dark green leafy vegetables, dried fruit and iron-fortified cereals, pasta, and breads. You may need to take Ferrous Sulfate generic or brand long-term or until iron levels improve, depending on the cause of your anemia. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
