Is ferrous sulphate 325mg can be given to kids of 12 years age? The Nature Made iron supplement (Ferrous Sulphate 325mg) just says, keep it out of reach of children. If it can be given to 12 year old kids, what could be the dose? Daily 1? My 12 year boy and 15 year girl are almost always slightly below the normal.
Thanks
