Precautions

This medication can cause severe poisoning and pose a life-threatening risk if taken accidentally in large amounts by children, so it should be stored out of reach of children in a safe place. People who are allergic to this medication or any of its components, babies under 12 months old, or patients with specific diseases that affect iron metabolism should not take this medication. During treatment with this medication, it is advisable to avoid taking it with drugs such as phosphates, calcium salts, certain antibiotics, and antacids. While taking this medication, avoid consumption of tannin-containing teas, such as green tea or black tea, as well as milk and dairy products. If you are receiving treatment from a physician or have gastrointestinal diseases, heart diseases, kidney diseases, etc., you must consult with a professional before taking this medication. If abnormal symptoms such as skin rash, itching, gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or coma occur during use, immediately stop taking the medication and consult with a doctor or pharmacist. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and consult with a professional if symptoms do not improve, and to verify the condition through blood tests. Taking vitamin C together may increase iron absorption, so keep this in mind. The ingredients in this medication do not improve neurological symptoms in patients with pernicious anemia; hence, it should be used with vitamin B12 preparations, and caution is required if the diagnosis is not certain. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to excessive iron accumulation, so be cautious. Store in a cool, dry place out of reach of children, avoiding direct sunlight, and do not transfer to another container.
