What dose of ferrous gluconate in mg is equivalent to ferrous sulphate prescribed?
it is the same answer because ferrous is metal and it is equivalent gmoubarak: that is incorrect, you have to see how much elemental iron both are equivalent to and dose them by elemental iron content. ferrous sulfate is 20% elemental iron ferrous gluconate is 12% elemental iron therefore 100 mg of ferrous sulfate is 20mg elemental iron, and 100 mg of ferrous gluconate is 12 mg elemental iron. You can then use this to calculate the conversion between the too. When dosing the two you have to use elemental iron need. Hope this helps. G.Moubarak PharmD

How much elemental iron is in ferrous gluconate?
Ferrous gluconate provides 12% elemental iron. For example if you take 100 mg ferrous gluconate you will get 12% elemental iron. Similarly Ferrous sulphate provides 20% elemental iron and Ferrous Fumarate provides 33% elemental iron that is why ferrous fumarate is best supplement for iron deficiency specially in pregnancy and lactation.

What is the difference between the tablets ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulphate?
Ferrous fumarate is an organic iron, which is absorbed better than ferrous sulphate, an in-organic iron. Ferrous sulphate may cause intestinal side effects, such as constipation, nausea, bloating...in many users, so it is produced in enteric-coated form, which may not absorbed as well as standard supplement. Ferrous fumarate is readily absorbed and less likely to cause intestinal side effects.
