Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
Ferrous Sulphate SR (Sustained Release) Pellets are an oral iron supplement designed to replenish iron stores and treat or prevent iron deficiency anemia. The sustained-release formulation allows gradual release of iron, enhancing absorption, minimizing gastric irritation, and improving patient compliance compared to conventional iron salts.
