What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Ferrous Sulfate Overview
Ferrous Sulfate is an iron supplement used to treat or prevent low blood levels of iron (such as those caused by anemia or pregnancy). Iron is an important mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells and keep you in good health.
Ferrous Sulfate Warnings
Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years. Keep Ferrous Sulfate out of reach of children. If overdose does occur, seek immediate medical attention or call a poison control center.
How to Use Ferrous Sulfate
Follow all directions on the product package, or take as directed by your doctor. Do not take more than the recommended dosage. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach (usually if taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals). If stomach upset occurs, you may take Ferrous Sulfate with food. See the instructions below for the liquid drops for infants/children. Avoid taking antacids, dairy products, tea, or coffee within 2 hours before or after Ferrous Sulfate because they will decrease its effectiveness. Take tablets or capsules with a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Do not lie down for at least 10 minutes after taking your tablet or capsule dose. Swallow extended-release capsules whole. Do not crush or chew extended-release capsules or tablets. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. If you are taking chewable tablets, chew the medication thoroughly, then swallow. If you are taking a liquid suspension form of Ferrous Sulfate, shake the bottle well before each dose. If you are taking the liquid form for adults, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Mix the dose in a glass of water or juice, and drink the mixture through a straw to prevent staining the teeth. If you are giving the liquid drops to an infant or child, use the dropper provided to carefully measure the dose. The dose may be placed directly into the mouth (towards the back of the tongue) or it may be mixed in formula (not milk), fruit juice, cereal, or other food as directed to increase your child's acceptance. It is best to give Ferrous Sulfate right after a meal. Follow the directions on the product package for the brand that you use. Take Ferrous Sulfate regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.
Ferrous Sulfate Precautions
Before taking Ferrous Sulfate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies.

Before taking Ferrous Sulfate, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,iron overload disorder (such as hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis), use/abuse of alcohol, liver problems, stomach/intestinal problems (such as ulcer, colitis). If your brand of iron supplement also contains folic acid, be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia) before taking it. Folic acid may falsely improve certain laboratory tests for vitamin B12 deficiency without actually treating this anemia. Untreated vitamin B12 deficiency may result in serious nerve problems (for example, peripheral neuropathy symptoms such as numbness/pain/tingling sensations). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details. Chewable tablets of this medicine may contain aspartame. If you have phenylketonuria (PKU) or any other condition that requires you to restrict your intake of aspartame (or phenylalanine), consult your doctor or pharmacist about using Ferrous Sulfate safely. Liquid preparations of Ferrous Sulfate may contain sugar and/or alcohol. Caution is advised if you have diabetes, alcohol dependence, or liver disease.

Separate your doses of these medications as far as possible from your doses of Ferrous Sulfate. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about how long you should wait between doses and for help finding a dosing schedule that will work with all your medications. Avoid taking Ferrous Sulfate at the same time as antacids. Wait at least 2 hours between taking Ferrous Sulfate and an antacid. If your brand of iron also contains folic acid, be sure to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you take certain anti-seizure drugs (for example, hydantoins such as phenytoin). Ferrous Sulfate may interfere with certain laboratory tests (such as fecal occult blood tests), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use Ferrous Sulfate.
