How much does Ferocon cost with insurance?
As with any prescription drug copay, the cost of Ferocon with insurance varies by plan. In fact, some insurance plans will not cover Ferocon prescriptions because all the active ingredients are available at a lower cost as generic, over-the-counter alternatives. Check with your pharmacist to see if your insurance covers Ferocon. With SingleCare, Ferocon costs as little as $3.00 for 30, 1 bottle Capsule. This may be a better alternative to insurance, so have your pharmacist compare prices with your SingleCare savings card first before you overpay for Ferocon.
Does Medicare cover Ferocon and how much does it cost?
Medicare-eligible patients are unlikely to get coverage on their Ferocon prescription. All the active ingredients are available in cheaper, over-the-counter dietary supplements. Medicare patients can rely on their SingleCare Ferocon coupon for consistent savings. Our free and reusable coupons are accepted at participating pharmacies.
What is the brand name of Ferocon?
There is no generic version of Ferocon. However, ferrous fumarate (iron), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), vitamin B12, and folic acid (vitamin B9) are the active dietary supplements contained in Ferocon. All are universally available as generic, over-the-counter dietary supplements.
What is Ferocon?
Ferocon is prescribed as a vitamin and mineral supplement to increase the amount of iron in the blood.
Iron is vital for the transportation of oxygen to cells and tissues and is the part of hemoglobin that “carries” the oxygen in red blood cells. Too little iron results in a deficiency of healthy red blood cells.
Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are key components in the body's production of red blood cells.
Ferocon is prescribed to patients with iron-deficiency anemia, poor nutrition, or pregnancy—any condition involving a shortage of iron in the red blood cells.
Although Ferocon can help iron-deficiency anemia, it is not used for other types of anemia, such as pernicious anemia, which is caused by low levels of vitamin B12, or hemolytic anemia, which is caused by a variety of illnesses.
Because Ferocon has vitamin B12, it may worsen pernicious anemia by temporarily masking it, so patients with pernicious anemia should not take Ferocon.
Ferocon is taken as a capsule following the dosage instructions of the prescribing physician.
What are the side effects of Ferocon?
Common side effects of Ferocon include but are not limited to upset stomach, stomach cramps, constipation, diarrhea, or black or bloody stools. Allergic reactions to the active ingredients are extremely rare.
Although iron is a naturally occurring and critical part of our diet, overdosing on iron can lead to iron poisoning and even death. Always follow your doctor's instructions or the suggested dosage on the supplement.
