Ferrous carbonate is an iron(II) salt formerly used in the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. Its usage has declined in favor of more soluble iron formulations. It is not commonly employed in modern clinical practice and is not a first-line therapy for anemia due to concerns over efficacy and tolerability.
Estimated pharmacokinetic parameters for an oral dose in adults; no published pharmacokinetic data specific to ferrous carbonate exist, so values are inferred from general oral iron preparations.
