would be needed to replace it. The box says something about 220 mg of Dried Ferrous Sulfate.
If taking 325 mg of Ferrous Sulfate, and ran out; how many tablets of 65 mg of elemental iron?

For your purposes, 325 mg of ferrous sulfate is the same as 65 mg of elemental iron. You need to take 1 tablet of 65 mg elemental iron.

They are equivalent. This has been something that confuses people and I don't know why they don't make it standard. Older docs keep ordering the 325 when its the same.

Does that mean that you would take 5 of the 65 mg elemental iron in place of the 325 mg of ferrous sulfate?
