Yes: The sulfate in ferrous sulfate is not a sulfonamide (sulfa) that you have allergy to.

Yes: There is frequently confusion when patients are allergic to a sulfa antibiotic and they are prescribed a medicine which has "sulfate" in the description. There is no problem using these medications even if one is allergic to sulfa.

I was prescribed ferrous sulfate 325 MG tablets. The bottle said to only take it once daily. Well, I accidentally took 2 because I had forgot about the one I already took. Will this cause any major medical problems or an overdose? Thank you?
