Iron & Vitamin Combined preparations
is the combined preparation of carbonyl iron and folic acid. It contains carbonyl iron with not less than 98% iron content. Carbonyl iron,having high bioavailability and low toxicity, is safer and more effective choice for iron supplementation.
One capsule daily. In more severe cases, 2 capsules a day may be required or as directed by the physician.
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.
This product is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Care should be taken in patients who may develop iron overload, such as those with haemochromatosis, haemolytic anemia or red cell aplasia. Iron chelates with tetracycline and absorption may be impaired.
