What is Iron deficiency anaemia?
Iron deficiency is a very common problem, especially in women who are pregnant or have given birth recently. The lack of iron can be due to blood loss from menstruation; however it also occurs when there isn’t enough dietary intake because some foods contain only small amounts while others don’t at all! If you suspect your body needs more than what’s being offered on its own terms then speak up about this issue with a doctor so they might prescribe tablets which will help supplement our diets accordingly
Symptoms of Iron deficiency can include:
tiredness and lack of energy
shortness of breath
noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations)
pale skin
Why do I need Folic acid Before and During Pregnancy?
The NHS recommends that women who are trying to get pregnant take a 400 micrograms daily folic acid tablet every day while you are trying to get pregnant and until you are 12 weeks pregnant.. This will help reduce the risk for neural tube defects, including spina bifida–the most severe form imaginable! If you didn’t consume any foods high in folate before conceiving then start adding these ingredients into your diet once aware about being pregnant.
It’s difficult to get the amount of folate recommended for pregnancy from food alone, which is why it is important to take a folic acid supplement.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor before you take Ferrograd Folic if you:

months before these symptoms occurred. Therefore you need to be urgently assessed to make sure that the
tablet doesn’t damage your airways.
• Before taking this tablet speak to your doctor if you are elderly or suffering from any bowel problem as the
plastic coating of the tablet may not be suitable.
• Ferrograd is not recommended for children under 12 years old. Acute iron poisoning is a serious risk in the
paediatric population.
• Your stools may turn black whilst taking Ferrograd Folic. If you have a test for the detection of blood in your
stools, tell your doctor you are taking Ferrograd Folic as black stools may cause an incorrect result to the test.
• Due to the risk of mouth ulceration and tooth discolouration, tablets should not be sucked, chewed or kept in
the mouth but swallowed whole with water. If you cannot follow this instruction or have difficulty swallowing,
please contact your doctor.
Before taking Ferrograd Folic consult your doctor
