Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. describes iron-and-folic-acid supplements for prevention and treatment of iron deficiency when clinically indicated. Important formulation distinction: The supplied product title says Ferrous Fumarate & Folic Acid Tablets, but every detailed tablet composition supplied is for Dried Ferrous Sulphate + Folic Acid. These are different iron salts and must not be substituted in product labeling. The sulphate variants are listed below exactly as supplied; no specific fumarate tablet composition is verified here.
| Presentation | Standard | Iron salt | Declared elemental iron | Folic acid | Form |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard IFA | IP | Dried Ferrous Sulphate 150 mg | 45 mg | 0.4 mg | Enteric-coated; Indigo Carmine |
| IFA Large / Iron-Folate | IP | Dried Ferrous Sulphate 335 mg | 100 mg | 0.5 mg | Enteric- or film-coated; colour varies by product |
| Pediatric | IP | Dried Ferrous Sulphate 67 mg | 20 mg | 100 mcg | Film-coated |
| Ferro Force | BP | Dried Ferrous Sulphate 200 mg | 60 mg | 0.25 mg | Sugar-coated |
| FESFO-E | IP | Dried Ferrous Sulphate 100 mg | 30 mg | 0.1 mg | Enteric-coated; Indigo Carmine Lake |
Separate ferrous fumarate product concept: Ferrous fumarate and folic acid tablets may be formulated in various strengths, but the supplied text does not establish a registered fumarate composition, coating, elemental-iron declaration, pack size or shelf life. These must be confirmed before marketing this page as a specific fumarate product.
Elemental iron equivalences in the table are the user-supplied declarations; verify each against the approved formulation and iron salt grade.
Formulation development for iron and folic acid tablets addresses uniform distribution of the low-dose folic acid ingredient, appropriate coating, packaging protection and stability. Film or sugar coating can help with taste masking, but cannot be assumed to eliminate gastrointestinal irritation. Enteric coating is a distinct release design and may affect iron absorption.
Finished-product specifications may include identity, assay for iron and folic acid, uniformity, dissolution or disintegration as applicable, impurities, microbial limits and stability testing. Acceptance limits and shelf life depend on the registered product.
Iron is essential for haemoglobin synthesis. Folic acid supports DNA synthesis and normal red-cell production; adequate folate intake around conception helps reduce neural-tube-defect risk. Iron-folate supplementation is appropriate for diagnosed iron deficiency and selected public-health or maternal-care indications. Not all anaemia is caused by iron deficiency.
Product-specific CTD/ACTD dossiers, COA and regulatory certificates may be provided subject to availability. The exact iron salt, strength, elemental-iron equivalence and approved label must match the destination-market registration.
Are ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulphate the same?
No. Both supply iron, but they are different salts. Their elemental-iron content per milligram of salt differs.
Why can stools become dark?
Dark stools are common with oral iron, but black tarry stools with weakness or other symptoms require urgent medical evaluation.
Can iron be taken with milk?
Calcium can reduce iron absorption. Follow clinician or label instructions about separating iron from calcium, antacids and other medicines.
Iron and folic acid doses vary by age, pregnancy status, laboratory results and indication. Do not interchange paediatric and adult strengths or sulphate and fumarate salt quantities without confirming elemental-iron equivalence. Follow the approved label; do not crush enteric-coated tablets unless specifically permitted.
Store in original protective packaging under the conditions stated on the approved label. Protect from excessive heat and moisture and keep out of reach of children.
