Wampole Ferrous Fumarate 300 mg, 100 Tablets

Description

Wampole Ferrous Fumarate is a high-potency iron supplement designed to help prevent and treat iron deficiency anemia in adults. Each tablet delivers 300 mg of ferrous fumarate, equivalent to 100 mg of elemental iron — a form the body can absorb and put to use in building healthy red blood cells. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional gaps in Canada, often linked to blood loss, pregnancy, heavy menstrual periods, restrictive diets, or conditions that limit how well the body absorbs nutrients from food.

Offered through Quiick Medicine, a licensed Canadian online pharmacy, this product meets the quality and regulatory standards required for a Health Canada–approved supplement (DIN 00031089). Each bottle contains 100 tablets, providing a supply that supports consistent, longer-term use under the guidance of a healthcare provider — whether you’re correcting a diagnosed deficiency or maintaining healthy iron levels during a period of higher demand, such as pregnancy or recovery from blood loss.

Ingredients

How to Use

Getting the most from an iron supplement isn’t just about taking it — timing and pairing matter too.

• Take each tablet with food to help reduce stomach upset, a common issue with iron supplements
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it
• Space doses at least a few hours apart from other medications, multivitamins, or natural health products, since iron can interfere with how well some other supplements and drugs are absorbed
• Pairing iron with a source of vitamin C (like orange juice) may help improve absorption
• Avoid taking it alongside dairy products, coffee, or tea, as calcium and certain compounds in these can reduce how much iron your body absorbs
• Stay consistent — iron levels rebuild gradually, and skipping doses can slow progress

Dosage

Adults: Take 1 tablet up to three times daily with food, spaced a few hours before or after any other medications or natural health products.

Dosage should ultimately be guided by your healthcare provider, especially since the right amount depends on the severity of your iron deficiency and any bloodwork results. Do not exceed the recommended dose without medical direction, and avoid long-term daily use without periodic check-ins with a healthcare professional to confirm it’s still needed.

Precautions

• Consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Speak with a healthcare provider first if you have a peptic ulcer, regional enteritis, or ulcerative colitis
• Do not use if you are hypersensitive to iron preparations or any ingredient in this product
• Keep out of reach of children — a single bottle contains enough iron to cause serious harm to a child if swallowed accidentally
• Iron can interact with certain medications (including some antibiotics and thyroid medications); check with your pharmacist before combining
• Not intended for individuals with hemochromatosis or other iron-overload conditions
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or diarrhea
