I imagine it had the same poisonous substance as Asacol 400mg that had to be removed and replaced by Delzicol. I believe it was called Patent-Expiration-ol.

Chewable, yo. I'll leave out all the jokes about not being able to swallow.

Funny you say that. I had a patient who we switched ask if she could not chew them. I said well, the sticker says they must be chewed first. She said, "I think I'll just swallow."

I wonder if it has any flavor to the chewable tablets.

The 24 Tablets should be just like chewable sugar. The brown tablets should be like chewable sweet mint.

Weird statement in the PI: "The ferrous fumarate tablets do not serve any therapeutic purpose."
