Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Kaitlib Fe Work?
Ferrous fumarate works by providing iron, which is essential for the production of hemoglobin—the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen. By increasing iron levels in the body, it helps improve the formation of red blood cells and alleviates symptoms of anemia.
Common Dosages
- Tablets or capsules: Common dosages include ferrous fumarate 325 mg, which typically contains about 106 mg of elemental iron.
Typical Dosing
- The usual dosage for adults is typically 1 to 3 tablets or capsules daily, depending on the severity of iron deficiency and individual patient needs.
- For children, dosing will vary based on age and weight, and it should be determined by a healthcare provider.
