Ferrous fumarate is an iron supplement used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia. Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, and its deficiency can lead to fatigue, weakness, and other health problems.

Ferrous fumarate is usually taken as tablets, as directed by your doctor. It is recommended to take the medication on an empty stomach or with a small amount of water to increase absorption. Avoid consuming milk, coffee, or tea at the same time, as they can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

Common side effects include stomach discomfort, nausea, constipation, or dark-colored stools. In rare cases, allergic reactions or severe stomach irritation may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

Ferrous fumarate is effective in correcting iron deficiency, but the treatment should be followed according to medical recommendations. Inform your doctor about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid interactions.
