Ferrous fumarate is a type of iron. You normally get iron from the foods you eat. In your
body, iron becomes a part of your hemoglobin (HEEM o glo bin) and myoglobin (MY o glo bin).
Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs. Myoglobin helps your
muscle cells store oxygen.
Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent
changes to DNA that may lead to cancer.
Ferrous fumarate and folic acid is used to treat iron deficiency anemia (a lack of red blood
cells caused by having too little iron in the body).
Ferrous fumarate and folic acid may also be used for other purposes not listed in this
medication guide.
