Feramat is an iron-containing product used to treat iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia. It is not a general energy booster, and taking iron when you do not need it can be harmful, so use it for the reason and duration specified for you.
Feramat is generally absorbed better on an empty stomach, but taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach. Swallow the capsule with water and follow the instructions supplied with your prescription or product.
Yes, Feramat can cause constipation, as iron products commonly cause digestive side effects. Drinking enough fluids and eating fibre-rich foods may help; seek medical advice if constipation is severe or does not improve.
Yes, Feramat can make stools look dark or black because of the iron. This is a common effect, but seek urgent medical attention if stools are tarry or you also feel faint, weak, or seriously unwell.
It is better not to take Feramat with tea, coffee, or milk, because they can reduce iron absorption. Take the capsule with water and avoid having these drinks or calcium-rich products at the same time.
Feramat does not work immediately; symptoms related to iron deficiency may take weeks to improve. Restoring iron stores can take longer, so follow the prescribed course rather than stopping as soon as you feel better.
Yes, Feramat can cause nausea, stomach discomfort, or abdominal pain. Taking it with food may make it easier on your stomach, but do not change your prescribed dose without advice if the symptoms persist or are severe.
Feramat may be used during pregnancy when iron is needed, but the need and dose should be assessed for you. Ask your doctor before starting it or continuing it during pregnancy.
No, swallow the Feramat capsule whole with water rather than opening or crushing it. If you have trouble swallowing capsules, ask a pharmacist or prescriber about a suitable alternative instead of changing how you take it.
Take the missed Feramat dose when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one; then skip it and continue your usual schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.

Feramat vitamin supplement is a packaged, iron-focused vitamin and mineral supplement, not a snack or a meal ingredient. Its taste and texture depend on the form supplied, such as a capsule or tablet. It is generally taken with water according to the directions on the product label, rather than served alongside food or tea.
The nutrition figures show mostly carbohydrate and no protein, but supplements are not usually judged like everyday foods. A typical serving is about 4 g. Follow the label for how to take it, and treat it as a supplement to—not a replacement for—a varied diet.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
