Prices shown here are an estimate, assembled from public pricing references for the UK, not an offer from any particular seller. The price at any one counter can differ from this figure, so check with the pharmacy for the number that applies to you. An unusually low price next to these figures should be treated as a red flag for a counterfeit or unlicensed seller.

This medicine is available without a prescription: general sale list medicines are sold off the shelf, and pharmacy medicines are supplied after a quick word with the pharmacist.

Iron supplement is available over the counter without pharmacist involvement. Read the pack leaflet first before you start using it, and check with a pharmacist about interactions. Certain strengths or pack sizes fall under the pharmacy (P) category, which involves the pharmacist, so ask at the counter if you cannot find it on the shelf.

About Iron supplement

Iron supplement is the product name, but its pharmacological class is not listed and the label does not state a specific reason for its use. Iron generally supports the body's production of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. This product's prescription status, available forms, strengths and generic availability are not confirmed.

How Iron supplement works

Iron is a nutrient that the body uses to make haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Iron supplements generally supply iron that can be absorbed and used by the body. They can help replenish iron when the body's available iron is low.

However, the pharmacological class of this particular product is not listed, and its formulation is not specified. Its precise absorption characteristics cannot therefore be described.

What Iron supplement is used for

A pharmacist can check the exact product and explain its stated uses. Decisions about whether an iron supplement is suitable should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist.
