Directions for Use
Take only as directed on the label or by your doctor. The dose depends on age and whether it is for prevention or treatment. Empty the ampoule into a glass of water or other drink (not tea or coffee, which reduce iron absorption) and drink, preferably before food. Taking it with a vitamin-C-rich drink such as orange juice improves absorption. Continue for the period advised, as rebuilding iron stores takes weeks to months.
Iron can cause stomach upset, constipation or dark stools. This is harmless. Avoid taking it at the same time as tea, coffee, milk, antacids or calcium, which reduce absorption; separate them by a couple of hours. Drinking through a straw and rinsing the mouth helps limit temporary tooth staining from the liquid. Take only the dose advised. Too much iron is harmful, especially to children. Tell your doctor about other medicines. Store below 30°C. This product information is for general guidance only and does not replace professional medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any new medication or supplement. Keep out of reach of children. Accidental iron overdose in children can be dangerous.
