Feofol is a capsule preparation of ferrous sulphate (in timed release form) and folic acid. Each capsule is having a colorless, clear body and a green, transparent cap filled with a mixture of coral red, pale yellow and white pellets. Feofol timed release capsule is designed in such a way that it prevents release of iron in stomach and thus prevents gastric side effects. Feofol ensures maximum absorption by releasing it at the site of its absorption.

Feofol (timed release capsule) is a haematinic preparation for the treatment and prophylaxis of iron and folic acid deficiency.
 

1 (one) Feofol (timed release) capsule a day. Some patients may need a higher dose because of dietary or other factors.
 

Symptoms of overdosage with iron salts include epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, haematemesis and circulatory collapse. In severe cases encephalopathy, acute hepatic necrosis and acute renal failure may develop after a latent period. The timed release capsule presentation of ferrous sulphate may delay excessive absorption of iron and allow more time for the initiation of appropriate counter measures. Treatment consists of gastric lavage followed by the introduction of 5 gm desferrioxamine into the stomach. Serum iron levels should be monitored in severe cases intravenous desferrioxamine should be given together with supportive and symptomatic measure as required.
 

Iron chelates with antacid and tetracycline and absorption of all these may be impaired if taken concurrently. however the administration of tetracycline during pregnancy is contraindicated.
