Interaction

Carbonyl iron may decrease the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa and penicillamine. Folic acid interacts with antiepileptics, so plasma concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone are possibly reduced.

Contraindications

It is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Iron therapy is contraindicated in the presence of hemolytic anaemia.

Side Effects

Allergic sensitization has been reported following oral administration of folic acid. Oral iron preparation may cause constipation, particularly in older patients, occasionally leading to faecal impaction.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Use of any drug during the first trimester of pregnancy should be avoided if possible. Thus administration of iron during the first trimester requires definite evidence of iron deficiency.Prophylaxis of iron deficiency where inadequate diet calls for supplementary iron and folic acid is justified during the remainder of pregnancy.

Precautions & Warnings

Iron chelates with antacid and tetracycline and absorption of all these may be impaired if taken concurrently.

Therapeutic Class
