How long will it take for Ferosom Forte to increase my patients iron levels?

Some patients begin to experience the benefits of Ferosom Forte within the first 4 weeks of taking it. However, this can vary from person-to-person and the severity of their iron deficiency. We recommend that patients take Ferosom Forte daily for at least 3-6 months to see a measurable improvement in their iron levels.

What’s the difference between Ferosom Forte capsules and sachets?

Ferosom Forte capsules contain 30 mg of elemental iron and also include vitamin C for enhanced absorption. Ferosom Forte sachets contain 21 mg of elemental iron and include vitamins C, D, B6, B12 and folic acid.

My patient has some dietary restrictions, is Ferosom Forte right for them?

It’s super important to us that both Ferosom Forte sachets, capsules, and gummies are non restrictive and fit many different lifestyles. That’s why Ferosom Forte products are vegan (dairy-free), gluten-free, non-GMO, and halal.

Is there a time that is best to take Ferosom Forte and should my patient avoid any foods/beverages?

No, there is no designated time to take Ferosom Forte. The best time of day to take it is when it’s most convenient for your patient and their lifestyle. If they are taking other medications, then they may want to take them a few hours apart.

Yes, Ferosom Forte is a safe option and often recommended to take during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

As always, we also recommend speaking with a healthcare practitioner before making any dietary or lifestyle changes.
