Slow Fe is a slow-release iron supplement formulated to provide 45 mg of elemental iron per tablet, equivalent to approximately 137 mg of ferrous sulfate according to the manufacturer’s current product information. It is intended for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia when the need for iron therapy has been determined by a healthcare professional.
Its controlled-release delivery system is designed to release iron gradually, which may help reduce common gastrointestinal side effects associated with immediate-release iron, such as nausea and abdominal discomfort.
