What is Fertamin iron sachet?
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.
