Treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia, nutritional supplementation during pregnancy, and support for individuals with increased iron requirements such as those with poor dietary intake or certain malabsorption conditions.
Ferrous gluconate provides bioavailable iron needed for hemoglobin production. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) reduces ferric iron to ferrous iron, enhancing intestinal absorption. Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation.
Take with food or water as directed; avoid taking with calcium supplements, antacids, or dairy products as these can reduce iron absorption. May cause gastrointestinal side effects like constipation or stomach upset. Iron supplements can interact with certain medications including antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors.
