Ferrous fumarate is an iron supplement used for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency anemia. It is commonly administered orally and is approved for use in many countries for this indication.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for healthy adult individuals after oral administration. Few published data directly report 'classical' compartmental PK parameters for non-intravenous oral iron such as ferrous fumarate. The following values are approximate estimates based on general absorption and elimination patterns of oral iron formulations.
