Ferrous Iron Chewable Tablets are a compound nutritional supplement whose main ingredients include iron and multiple vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, and C). They are primarily used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia, but only for this specific type of anemia.

These tablets mainly supply the iron required by the body and promote hemoglobin synthesis, thus preventing and treating anemia symptoms—such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness—caused by insufficient dietary iron content or poor absorption. Ferrous Iron Chewable Tablets also contain various vitamins that help alleviate discomfort caused by anemia, such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and insomnia. Additionally, they can, to some extent, promote growth and development and enhance immunity.

For non-iron-deficiency anemias, such as hemolytic anemia and megaloblastic anemia, the therapeutic effect of Ferrous Iron Chewable Tablets may be limited. Patients should clearly identify the type and cause of their anemia to avoid indiscriminate medication use. When taking Ferrous Iron Chewable Tablets, strictly follow the prescribed dosage to avoid overdosing or prolonged use, which could lead to adverse reactions.
