- Iron salts and tetracycline absorption is diminished if taken 
  concomitantly by mouth.
- Iron salts should be administered 3 hours before or 2 hours 
  after the tetracycline administration.
- Concomitant ingestion of antiacids and tea will also 
  decrease the absorption of iron salts.
- Iron salts may reduce the effects of penicillamine.
- Quinolone anti-infective agent absorption is diminished if 
   taken concomitantly by mouth with iron salts. Oral 
   preparations should not be administered within two hours 
   of quinolone agents.

  (prescribed by physician or pharmacist).

- Excessive doses of iron preparations may lead to toxicity 
  in children.
- Adverse effects of iron administered in therapeutic doses 
  may include gastro-intestinal discomfort, diarrhea, 
  vomiting, constipation. 
- Sideeffects may be reduced by taking the medication with 
  or immediately after food. As a result of iron therapy stools 
   may become darkened or black in colour.
- Circulatory failure may occur if the diarrhea and 
   haemorrhage are severe. 
 

- Iron salts should not be given to patients receiving 
  repeated blood transfusions or to patients with
