• Iron is most commonly used for preventing and
  treating anemia caused by low iron levels. It is
  also used for anemia caused by abnormal heavy
  bleeding during menstrual periods
  (menorrhagia), pregnancy, or kidney problems.
• Athletic performance - Early research shows that
  taking iron by mouth can improve the ability to
  exercise in younger women and children.
• Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -
  Developing research shows that taking iron by
  mouth for 1-3 months improves some symptoms of
  attention problems in children with ADHD and low
  iron levels.
• Breath-holding attacks - Early research suggests
  that taking iron by mouth or through a shot
  reduces the number of breath-holding attacks in
  children.
• Child development - Early research shows that
  iron does not improve thinking or learning in
  infants and children who do not have anemia. It
  is also unknown if iron will improve a child's
  movement skills.

Other early evidence shows that taking iron does
not increase growth in children. Some research
has found that infants with low iron levels have
delayed verbal and social skills in childhood,
but it's unknown if taking iron will resolve
these issues. Cancer of the esophagus - Early
research shows that people who take iron
supplements are 32 less likely to develop one
type of esophageal cancer. Fatigue - There is
some early evidence that taking iron as ferrous
sulfate might improve unexplained fatigue in
women. Depression after childbirth (postpartum
depression) - Early research shows that taking
iron might reduce symptoms of depression after
giving birth. A type of inflammatory bowel
disease (Crohn disease), Canker sores, Inability
to become pregnant within a year of trying to
conceive (infertility), Abnormal heavy bleeding
during menstrual periods (menorrhagia) and Other
conditions.

When taken by mouth Iron is LIKELY SAFE for most
people when it is taken by mouth in appropriate
amounts. It can cause side effects such as
stomach upset and pain, constipation or diarrhea,
nausea, and vomiting. Taking iron supplements
with food seems to reduce some of these side
effects. However, food can also reduce how well
the body can absorb iron. Iron should be taken on
an empty stomach if possible. If it causes too
many side effects, it can be taken with food. Try
to avoid taking iron with foods containing dairy
products, coffee, tea, or cereals.There are
many forms of iron products such as ferrous
sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate, and
others. Some products, such as those containing
polysaccharide-iron complex (Niferex-150, etc),
claim to cause fewer side effects than others.
But there is no reliable evidence to support this
claim.Some enteric coated or controlled release
iron products might reduce nausea for some
people however, the body may not be able to
absorb these products as well.

Liquid iron supplements may blacken teeth.When
given by IV Iron is LIKELY SAFE for most people
when it is given by IV in appropriate
amounts. Iron is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant and
breast-feeding women who have enough iron stored
in their bodies when used in doses below the
tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 45 mg per
day of elemental iron. The UL is the highest
level of intake at which no harmful side effects
are expected. However, iron is LIKELY UNSAFE when
taken by mouth in high doses. If you do not have
iron deficiency, do not take more than 45 mg per
day of elemental iron. Higher doses cause
stomach and intestinal side effects such as
nausea and vomiting and may even cause preterm
birth in some women. Higher doses of iron can
cause high levels of hemoglobin in the blood.
High hemoglobin levels at the time of delivery
are associated with bad pregnancy outcomes.
