Product Description
Ferrate Oral Suspension 100mL is a liquid iron preparation used to replenish iron stores in the body and treat iron deficiency anaemia. Each 5mL typically contains ferrous fumarate equivalent to 30mg–50mg elemental iron (check label for exact strength). Iron is essential for haemoglobin production and oxygen transport in red blood cells. The suspension is formulated to be gentle on the stomach compared to some iron tablets, with reduced gastrointestinal side effects. The fruit or mixed flavour makes it acceptable for children and adults who dislike tablets or capsules. The 100mL bottle provides approximately 20–40 doses depending on prescribed strength and age/weight. It is commonly prescribed for: Iron deficiency anaemia (due to poor diet, heavy periods, pregnancy, growth spurts) Prevention during pregnancy or lactation Post-blood loss or chronic illness Shake well before use and store in a cool place after opening.
