Precautions and warnings

Iron can interact with antacids and tetracycline, and if you take them at the same time, your body may not absorb any of them very well.

Drug Interactions

Elemental iron: Antacids can lower the amount of carbonyl iron your body absorbs.

Folic acid: Certain medicines and substances—including antiepileptics, birth control pills, tuberculosis medications, alcohol, aminopterin, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim, and sulphonamides—can reduce the level of folic acid in your blood. Folic acid can also lower the amount of phenytoin in your blood.

Contraindications

This product should not be used by people who are allergic to any of its ingredients. Folic acid should not be used in people who have untreated vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency or those with hemolytic anemia.

Mode of actions

**Iron:**
Iron is a key part of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The body needs enough iron to make healthy red blood cells. Iron also helps several important enzymes work, including cytochromes that play a role in how cells make energy. Iron is stored in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and various enzymes, and is necessary for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

**Folic Acid:**
Folic acid is needed to make DNA and new cells, especially red blood cells. In the body, it is changed into its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, by an enzyme called dihydrofolate reductase. Folic acid is especially important for women who can become pregnant, as it helps prevent birth defects like neural tube defects. Pregnant women need higher amounts of folic acid.

Dosage & Administration
