Ferrous fumarate replenishes iron stores, folic acid supports DNA synthesis and red blood cell maturation, and vitamin C enhances iron absorption in the gut.

Pharmacokinetics

  • Metabolism: Folic acid metabolized in liver; iron stored in ferritin.
  • Excretion: Iron via feces; folic acid via urine.
  • Half-life: Variable depending on deficiency state.
