About Ferrous Sulfate

Ferrous sulfate is an iron supplement used to prevent and treat iron deficiency anaemia, a condition that is alarmingly prevalent in Nigeria. According to health surveys, over 60% of Nigerian children under five and approximately 50% of pregnant women suffer from some degree of anaemia, with iron deficiency being the most common cause. In everyday Nigerian language, iron supplements are widely referred to as 'blood tonic' or 'blood builder,' and this term is so deeply embedded in local healthcare vocabulary that many Nigerians will walk into a pharmacy and ask specifically for 'blood tonic' rather than iron tablets. From the busy pharmacies of Ikeja and Surulere in Lagos to health centres in Maiduguri and Sokoto, ferrous sulfate and its related iron formulations are among the most frequently dispensed supplements in the country.
