Ferrous Fumarate & Folic Acid Tablets

Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of high-bioavailability hematinics. We provide Ferrous Fumarate & Folic Acid Tablets, sourced from WHO–GMP certified solid dosage facilities. This essential iron-vitamin combination is a primary export for maternal health programs, prenatal clinics, and government health departments in Africa, LATAM, and Southeast Asia, serving as a first-line intervention for the prevention and treatment of iron-deficiency anemia and neural tube defects.


Product Overview

This formulation combines a stable organic iron salt with a critical B-vitamin (B9) to support erythropoiesis (red blood cell production) and healthy fetal development.

The “Blood-Building” Specialist:

  • Ferrous Fumarate (Elemental Iron): Unlike inorganic iron salts, Ferrous Fumarate is an organic salt that provides a high percentage of elemental iron (approx. 33%). It is less likely to cause gastric irritation than ferrous sulfate while effectively replenishing depleted iron stores in the bone marrow.
  • Folic Acid (Vitamin B9): Essential for DNA synthesis and the maturation of red blood cells. In pregnant women, adequate folic acid intake is clinically proven to reduce the risk of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) such as spina bifida in the developing fetus.
  • Synergy: The co-administration of Iron and Folic Acid addresses the dual-deficiency often found in nutritional anemia, ensuring the body has both the “building blocks” (Iron) and the “architect” (Folic Acid) for healthy blood.

Product Composition & Strength

We supply this product as Film Coated Tablets. The coating is essential to mask the metallic taste of iron and prevent the oxidation of the ferrous salt during storage.

  • Homogeneity Control: Folic acid is present in micro-gram or low milli-gram quantities. We use geometric dilution and high-shear granulation to ensure that the Folic Acid is uniformly distributed throughout the Ferrous Fumarate matrix in every single tablet.
  • Stability Excellence: Iron salts are prone to moisture-induced degradation. We utilize moisture-barrier film coatings to ensure the tablets remain stable in high-humidity tropical climates, preventing the tablets from becoming brittle or discolored.

Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)

Indicated for the treatment and prevention of iron and folate deficiencies:

  • Prenatal Care: Prevention of maternal anemia and fetal neural tube defects during pregnancy and lactation.
  • Nutritional Anemia: Treatment of iron-deficiency anemia due to poor diet or malabsorption.
  • Chronic Blood Loss: Supplementation in patients with hookworm infestation, heavy menstrual bleeding, or other chronic blood loss conditions.

Dosage & Administration

Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Physician/Maternal Health Guidelines):

  • Route: Oral.
  • Standard Dose: 1 tablet daily or as prescribed.
  • Administration (CRITICAL): Best taken between meals for maximum iron absorption. However, if gastric upset occurs, it may be taken with food. Avoid taking with tea, coffee, or milk, as they can inhibit iron absorption.

Safety Warnings:

  • Pediatric Toxicity: WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep out of reach of children.
  • Gastrointestinal Effects: May cause black stools, constipation, or stomach cramps. These are normal and harmless during iron therapy.
  • Pernicious Anemia: Folic acid may mask the symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia).
