Interaction
Carbonyl Iron decreases the absorption of tetracycline
antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa and
penicillamine. Folic Acid interacts with antiepileptics, so plasma
concentrations of phenobarbital, phenytoin and primidone are possibly reduced.
Contraindications
It is contraindicated in patients with a known
hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Iron therapy is contraindicated in the
presence of haemolytic anaemia.
Side Effects
Allergic sensitization has been reported following oral
administration of Folic acid. Oral iron preparation may cause constipation,
particularly in older patients.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use of any drug during first trimester of pregnancy should
be avoided if possible. Thus administration of Iron during the first trimester
requires definite evidence of Iron deficiency. Prophylaxis of Iron deficiency
where inadequate diet calls for supplementary Zinc and Folic acid is justified
during the remainder of the pregnancy.
Precautions & Warnings
Care should be taken in patients who may develop iron
overload, such as those with hemochromatosis, hemolytic anemia or red cell
aplasia. Iron chelates with tetracycline and absorption may be impaired.
Overdose Effects
Symptoms of Carbonyl Iron include decreased energy, nausea,
abdominal pain, tarry stool, weak, rapid pulse, fever, coma, seizures.
