The following medicines are affected by this:
- the uptake (absorption) of tetracyclines, penicillamine, levodopa and methyldopa taken at the same time is reduced,
- the absorption of quinolone antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin) is affected,
- the uptake of thyroxine in patients receiving thyroxine replacement therapy is reduced.
-
This medicine is affected as follows:
- the absorption of iron is reduced by the simultaneous use of cholestyramine, antacids (calcium, magnesium, aluminum salts) and calcium and magnesium supplements.
- The simultaneous intake of iron salts with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the irritating effect of iron on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
- The medicine should not be taken within 2 - 3 hours after administration of any of the above medicines.
-
When taken with food and drink:
- There should be a gap of 2-3 hours between taking iron supplements and consuming iron-binding substances such as phosphates, phytates or oxalates as well as milk, coffee and tea, as these substances inhibit iron absorption.
