Iron(II) sulfate

fer·rous sulfate (f

adj.

An iron compound used primarily for treating iron-deficiency amemia.

ferrous sulfate,

an antianemia (hematinic) agent. See also iron.

indication It is prescribed in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia.

contraindications Hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, hemolytic anemias, and hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients prohibit its use.

adverse effects Among the most serious adverse effects are GI irritation, diarrhea, and constipation.

ferrous [fer´us]

containing iron in its plus-two oxidation state, Fe(II) (sometimes designated Fe²⁺).

ferrous fumarate an oral iron preparation used in the treatment of iron deficiency.

ferrous gluconate a hematinic that is less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract than other hematinics, and generally used as a substitute when ferrous sulfate cannot be tolerated.

ferrous sulfate the most widely used hematinic for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. It is believed to be less irritating than equivalent amounts of ferric salts and is more effective.

All iron preparations should be administered after meals, never on an empty stomach. The patient should be warned that the drugs cause stools to turn dark green or black. Overdosage may cause severe systemic reactions.

ferrous

containing iron in its plus-two oxidation state, Fe(II) (sometimes designated Fe²+).

ferrous fumarate

the anhydrous salt of a combination of ferrous iron and fumaric acid; used as a hematinic.

ferrous gluconate

a hematinic that is less irritating to the gastrointestinal tract than other hematinics, and generally used as a substitute when ferrous sulfate cannot be tolerated.

ferrous selinite

is insoluble and soils rich in iron oxide tend to be nontoxic because of the formation of this compound.

ferrous sulfate

the most widely used hematinic for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. It is believed to be less irritating than equivalent amounts of ferric salts and is more effective.
