What is Iron Supplement: Ferrous Sulfate Guide about?

Ferrous sulfate is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemias. It works by elevating serum iron levels, which helps form hemoglobin or stores iron in reticuloendothelial cells. Common side effects include gastrointestinal upset and potential for overdose toxicity. It should not be taken with antacids or by those with sulfite or ingredient allergies, hemochromatosis, or normal iron balance. Nursing considerations include assessing for allergies and ensuring the patient has iron deficiency anemia.
