Femiron is a brand-name oral iron supplement containing ferrous fumarate. It is used to treat iron deficiency anemia by restoring the body's iron stores, which are needed to produce hemoglobin and healthy red blood cells.

Ferrous fumarate contains a high percentage of elemental iron per tablet and is considered one of the more bioavailable oral iron salt forms. Some patients find it causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects compared to ferrous sulfate, though individual responses vary.

Hemoglobin levels typically begin to improve within 2 to 4 weeks of starting iron therapy. Full replenishment of iron stores, as reflected in ferritin levels, generally takes 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment.

Common side effects include constipation, nausea, stomach upset, and dark or tarry stools. Taking Femiron with food can help reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, though absorption is best on an empty stomach.

Yes. Calcium-rich foods, dairy products, coffee, tea, and antacids can significantly reduce iron absorption. For best results, take Femiron separately from these items. Vitamin C taken at the same time can enhance absorption.

Femiron is not appropriate for people with hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, or other conditions involving iron overload. It should also be used cautiously in patients with certain gastrointestinal disorders. A physician evaluation is important before starting iron therapy.
