Orally administered ferrous salts are the preferred treatment for iron deficiency. Ferrous salts are absorbed about three times as well as ferric salts and the bioavailability of the sulfate, fumarate, succinate, gluconate, and other ferrous salts is approximately the same. Ferrous sulfate, being the least expensive, is then the treatment of choice. Ferrous fumarate is available as a syrup and may be useful in small children for the treatment and prophylaxis of iron deficiency.
