During pregnancy, your body needs more iron than before you were expecting. Iron helps support the formation of haemoglobin for red blood cells and also helps oxygen being carried around the body. Feroglobin is suitable for use during pregnancy if you are advised to take it or feel that you may need to safeguard your iron intake.

While Feroglobin is safe to take during pregnancy, taking Feroglobin and Pregnacare together would lead to doubling up of certain nutrients such as iron. We recommend you consult with your pharmacist or GP or midwife, pharmacist regarding your specific nutritional requirements, and if taking an extra iron supplement like Feroglobin, in addition to Pregnacare, would be right for you. Please note that it is perfectly safe to take any of our Pregnacare products at any time before, during or after pregnancy.
