What does 'Fe' indicate in contraceptives?

More than 35mcg of estrogen
An iron supplement is included
A shorter placebo time
Same dose of progestin and estrogen

The correct answer is: An iron supplement is included

In contraceptives, the indication of 'Fe' typically signifies that an iron supplement is included in the formulation. Iron is sometimes added to oral contraceptive pills to help prevent or reduce the risk of iron deficiency anemia in individuals who may experience heavy menstrual bleeding. The other options are not directly related to the 'Fe' indication in contraceptives: A. More than 35mcg of estrogen - This would usually be indicated differently, not as 'Fe.' C. A shorter placebo time - This usually would not be indicated by 'Fe.' D. Same dose of progestin and estrogen - This would not be indicated by 'Fe' either.
