FERRO SANOL duodenal, iron deficiency anaemia treatment interactions

• Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking/using or have recently taken/used other medicines, even if they are non-prescription medicines.
• Enhancement of the effect and possible enhancement of side effects
  • Painkillers and rheumatism drugs (e.g. salicylate and phenylbutazone): can intensify an irritating effect on the mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal tract of the drug.
  • Intravenous formulations of iron: Concomitant administration of intravenous formulations of iron with oral forms of iron may cause a drop in blood pressure (hypotension) or collapse due to excessive iron release and transferrin saturation. The combination is not recommended.
• weakening of the effect
  • Tetracyclines (certain antibiotics, e.g. doxycycline) or bisphosphonates (medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis): the absorption of both iron and tetracyclines or bisphosphonates is reduced.
  • Colestyramine or Ca ²⁺ -, Mg ²⁺ -, Al ³⁺ -containing medicines (e.g. antacids, calcium and magnesium salts for substitution): inhibit iron absorption.
  • Penicillamine, oral gold compounds, L-methyldopa, levodopa and L-thyroxine: are poorly absorbed when iron is administered at the same time.
  • Certain antibiotics (fluoroquinolones such as ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, gatifloxacin and ofloxacin): Iron greatly reduces the absorption of these drugs.
  • There should be a gap of at least 2 hours between taking the drug and the above drugs.
• Other possible interactions
  • The stool may become darker in colour, and this is not due to gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • Today's tests for traces of blood in the stool can be falsely positive.

• When taken with food and drink
  • Substances that form complexes with iron (e.g. phytates, oxalates and phosphates) contained in plant foods (e.g. grain products and vegetables) as well as components of coffee, tea, milk and cola drinks inhibit the absorption of iron into the blood.
