General Informations

The effervescent granules FER DE FAR belong to the group of drugs called iron supplements. These drugs work by replacing the iron in the body.
Iron is a mineral that the body needs to produce red blood cells. When the body has not enough iron, can not produce the required number of red blood cells to remain in good condition (healthy). This situation is called iron-deficiency anemia. The effervescent granules FER DE FAR are used for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia.
