- Iron salts reduce the absorption of tetracyclines, penicillamine, gold compounds, levodopa and methyldopa.
- Iron salts affect the absorption of quinolone antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin).
- Iron salts reduce the absorption of thyroxine in patients receiving replacement therapy.
- The absorption of iron is reduced by the simultaneous use of cholestyramine, antacids (Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Al 3+ salts) and calcium and magnesium supplements.
- The simultaneous intake of iron salts with salts of salicylic acid (salicylates, e.g. acetylsalicylic acid) or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can increase the irritating effect of iron on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.
- Iron-binding substances such as phosphates, phytates or oxalates as well as milk, coffee and black tea inhibit iron absorption.
- The medicine should not be taken within 2 - 3 hours after administration of any of the above substances.
-
Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, even if they are non-prescription medicines.
-
Take with food and drinks:
- Ingredients from milk, coffee, black tea and vegetarian food inhibit the absorption of iron and should therefore not be taken at the same time as the medicine.
Contraindications :
-
Must not be taken:
- if you are hypersensitive (allergic) to iron (II) sulfate or any of the other ingredients.
- in cases of iron overload (e.g. iron storage disease) and iron utilization disorders (lead anemia, sideroachrestic anemia, thalassemia).
