Iron Supplements (Ferrous Gluconate, Sulfate, Fumarate)
Iron tablets for iron-deficiency anemia
Iron supplements treat iron-deficiency anemia. The three common forms (gluconate, sulfate, fumarate) have different elemental iron amounts per tablet — that is why doses do not look interchangeable.
How the pharmacy helps
We stock all three common salts. Take with vitamin C (juice) and avoid taking with calcium, antacids, or coffee. Stool turns dark — that is normal.
