Ferrous Fumerate 210mg

Trying to get some for my friend and used to get off amazon but no longer selling it. Can only seem to find on ebay or weird online pharmacy sites whom can't spell.

Anyone know reliable source of where to buy?

I suppose only other option is ferrous sulphate over the counter but this is harsher on stomach.

Thanks :-)

Try a pharmacy. I bought my last ones from Lloyds. I've also bought from a pharmacy in Tesco.

I've only ever bought FF from bricks and mortar pharmacies.

You might get asked about why you want it. It isn't a Prescription-Only-Medicine (unless it's been recently re-classified and I'm not aware of it). Instead it is a drug/supplement which can be sold with a pharmacist's oversight and discretion. Boots have been known to refuse to sell, and occasionally it happens elsewhere. If the pharmacist refuses to sell it to you, just go to another pharmacy from a different chain and ask again. If you do get asked why you want the iron just say it is for yourself, and tell them your iron is low. Don't go into any detail if you can avoid it.

Ebay is good.

I got mine, branded one, pharmacy strength from there. Three months supply for 5 quid.

Ebay sellers sell on Amazon and the other way round.
