When the body does not get enough iron, it cannot produce the number of normal red blood cells needed to keep you in good health. This condition is called iron-deficiency anaemia. Ferrous Sulfate tablets are used for the prevention and treatment of iron-deficiency anaemia.
The recommended dose is
Treatment: one tablet, two to three times daily.
Prevention: one tablet a day.

Children weighing over 22kg: one tablet a day.
Children weighing over 44kg: one tablet twice a day.
