PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an internal medicine composition which can mask the original rust taste of iron and ensure a good taking property by adding a trivalent iron ion and a non-reducing substance. SOLUTION: This internal medicine composition contains (A) a trivalent iron ion (preferably a trivalent iron compound such as ammonium ferric citrate, ferric sulfate or ferric chloride) and (B) a non-reducing agent. The component B is a sugar alcohol (preferably sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol or erythritol). The iron content in the composition is preferably 0.5-60 mg (converted in iron ion in the iron compound) per day. Since the ingredient B has a laxative action, each dose is preferably 1-40g and set to the maximum non-action amount or less. The pH of the composition is 2.5-7.0. Thereby, the unpleasant rust taste which is originated from the iron and increases with the passage of time is reduced.
