What is Ferrous Fumarate
Ferrous fumarate is a form of iron that is used to eliminate iron deficiency anemia. Although ferrous fumarate is not the same type of iron that you find in foods, it is sufficient for treating iron deficiency in general. While ferrous fumarate can be found in supplements, it is often prescribed by a doctor in a prescription strength.
Ferrous fumarate can also be used to treat other conditions; however, they don't go into detail as to what other conditions those could be. Most medical websites only suggest ferrous fumarate for iron deficiency.
How Ferrous Fumarate Works
Iron plays a large role in many of the functions in the human body. One major benefit is that ferrous fumarate helps oxygen form in the body. In addition, it ensures that the red blood cells in the body are able to deliver the oxygen throughout the entire body.
Another role that ferrous fumarate plays in terms of the oxygen in the body, is that it helps with oxygen storage in muscle tissue. The more you move your muscles, the more oxygen your muscles use. Having sufficient oxygen stored in the muscle tissue means that the body won't use other sources to help supplement that oxygen.
Health Benefits of Ferrous Fumarate
Ferrous fumarate is used to treat anaemia (not enough red blood cells in the blood). It is an iron-containing drug, and is sometimes known as an oral iron salt or supplement. It is used to treat anaemia caused by a deficiency of iron. Anaemia is when your blood does not contain enough red blood cells and the symptoms may be tiredness, weakness and shortness of breath. Ferrous fumarate is a form of iron that can be absorbed and used by the body, and works in the same manner as foods containing iron (iron is necessary for the normal development of red blood cells as a lack of iron affects the development of the red blood cells and causes iron deficiency anaemia). In general this drug is used to treat anaemia because of iron deficiency (e.g. a poor diet, or in those who need extra iron such as during pregnancy, women with heavy periods, following surgery to remove all or part of the stomach (gastrectomy), patients undergoing dialysis or premature babies). Benefits of being on this drug can include increased production of red blood cells and reduction of symptoms associated with anaemia such as weakness and shortness of breath.
Ferrous Fumarate Side Effects
There are several side effects that you should look for when taking ferrous fumarate. Some are common and not too serious and they generally go away after your body gets used to taking the ferrous fumarate. Normal side effects are including stomach upset, cramping in the stomach, diarrhea, constipation, black stools and mild dizziness.
