Prescribing Information:

• The requirement for iron is increased during pregnancy and lactation, with iron requirements increasing by 66% in pregnancy.
• Iron is contraindicated in haemochromatosis.
• Iron can negatively impact zinc absorption when taken on an empty stomach.
• Calcium may reduce the absorption of iron; however, little effect has been observed with calcium supplementation at doses of 1000-1500mg daily.
• Concurrent use of iron with ACE inhibitors, levodopa, carbidopa, quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics, and L-thyroxine may result in reduced medication efficacy. Take medication two hours before or 4-6 hours after iron intake.
• Concomitant use of iron with antacids, cholestyramine, H2-receptor antagonists, haloperidol or proton-pump inhibitors may reduce iron efficacy.
• Concurrent use of iron with cimetidine, penicillamine or sulfasalazine may reduce both iron and drug efficacy.
• Separate doses by at least 2 hours.
• Concomitant use of vitamin A with isotretinoin may increase toxicity.
• Increased vitamin A levels occur in oral contraceptive pill users due to longer storage in the liver. Use caution with large doses of retinol.
