Fertamin iron sachet is an iron supplement intended to help increase iron intake. It is not automatically needed by everyone; taking iron without a reason can cause unwanted effects, so follow the product directions or your existing care plan.
Take Fertamin iron sachet according to the directions on its package, which specify how to prepare the sachet. Do not guess whether it should be dissolved, mixed with food, or taken directly, and do not exceed the stated amount.
Yes, taking Fertamin iron sachet with a vitamin C-containing drink such as orange juice may help iron absorption. Follow the sachet’s preparation instructions, and avoid using juice if its acidity worsens your stomach discomfort.
Fertamin iron sachet is generally absorbed better on an empty stomach, but taking it with food may be easier if it upsets your stomach. Follow the product directions if they specify a different way to take it.
Yes. Tea and coffee can reduce iron absorption, so avoid taking Fertamin iron sachet at the same time as either drink. Water is a better choice when taking the sachet.
Yes, Fertamin iron sachet may turn stool dark green or nearly black, a common effect of iron supplements. Seek medical advice if the stool looks tarry or you also feel seriously unwell.
Yes, constipation can occur with Fertamin iron sachet. Iron supplements may also cause nausea or stomach discomfort; if symptoms are severe or persistent, do not increase or change the amount on your own.
Improving iron levels with Fertamin iron sachet takes time and varies with the cause and severity of low iron. Feeling better does not necessarily mean iron stores have recovered, so follow the duration in your care plan.
Fertamin iron sachet may be appropriate during pregnancy when extra iron is needed, but the right amount depends on your situation and any other supplements you take. Ask your prenatal clinician before starting it.
If you miss Fertamin iron sachet, take the next dose according to the package or your existing schedule. Do not double the next amount to make up for the missed sachet.

To burn the 6 calories in 1 pack (mini) (1.5 g):

Times are calculated with the MET equation for a 70 kg adult. Actual burn varies with your weight, age and pace.
Fertamin iron sachet is an iron supplement supplied in a small, single-use sachet, rather than a food or snack. Follow the preparation and use directions printed on the pack; the sachet format is convenient to keep on hand as part of a routine, whether at home or while travelling.
The nutrition listing gives 95 g of carbohydrate per 100 g and no protein or fat, while a typical sachet is about 1.5 g. That makes its contribution to a meal small, but it is not a substitute for ordinary food. Use it as directed on the packaging, rather than mixing it into a drink or meal unless the instructions say to do so.

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.
