A 40 yo female suffering from anemia was prescribed ferrous sulfate (FESO, 7H20), to be taken one tablet, once a day. She is taking the product shown in the image below, and it is causing severe constipation. Her physician has requested you to prepare a ferrous gluconate (C12H:OaFe) syrup for the patient as this form of iron causes less constipation. Each teaspoon dose is to provide the equivalent of the recommended 65 mg elemental iron to be taken daily. How many grams of ferrous gluconate will you need to compound 8 fluid ounces of syrup? FESO, heptahydrate 278 g/mol, C1zH:OaFe-446 g/mol, Fe 55.85 g/mol.

A 40 yo female suffering from anemia was prescribed ferrous sulfate (FESO,7H20), to be taken one tablet, once a
day. She is taking the product shown in the image below, and it is causing severe constipation. Her physician has
requested you to prepare a ferrous gluconate (C12H:OiFe) syrup for the patient as this form of iron causes less
constipation. Each teaspoon dose is to provide the equivalent of the recommended 65 mg elemental iron to be taken
daily. How many grams of ferrous gluconate will you need to compound 8 fluid ounces of syrup? FESO,
heptahydrate - 278 gmol, CuH2OuFe-446 g/mol, Fe 55.85 g/mol.
