When should ferrous sulfate be taken? What is ferrous sulphate used for in pregnancy? Is Ferrous sulfate a medicine used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anaemia
FeSO4
Iron(II) sulfate (British English: iron(II) sulphate) or ferrous sulfate denotes a range of salts with the formula FeSO4·xH2O. These compounds exist most commonly as the heptahydrate (x = 7) but several values for x are known. The hydrated form is used medically to treat iron deficiency, and also for industrial applications. Known since ancient times as copperas and as green vitriol (vitriol is an archaic name for sulfate), the blue-green heptahydrate (hydrate with 7 molecules of water) is the most common form of this material. All the iron(II) sulfates dissolve in water to give the same aquo complex [Fe(H2O)6]2+, which has octahedral molecular geometry and is paramagnetic. The name copperas or iron ii sulfate dates from times when the copper(II) sulfate was known as blue copperas, and perhaps in analogy, iron salt and zinc sulfate were known respectively as green and white copperas.
