Ferro-DSS


Generic Name: Ferrous Fumarate/Docusate Tablets (FER-us FYOO-ma-rate/DOK-yoo-sate)
Brand Name: Ferro-DSS

Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years old. Keep this product out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
