Overdosage
Iron: Symptoms of acute Iron overdosage can be divided into four stages.
Stage I: occurs up to six hours after ingestion, the principal symptoms are vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms include hypotension (low blood pressure), tachycardia (rapid heartbeat) and central nervous system (CNS) depression ranging from lethargy (sleepiness) to coma (state of unconsciousness).
Stage II: may occur 6 to 24 hours after ingestion and is characterized by a temporary remission or signs of overdosage are decreased.
Stage III: gastrointestinal symptoms recur accompanied by shock, metabolic acidosis (increased acid in the blood), coma, hepatic necrosis (death of liver tissue), jaundice (yellowish color of the skin, eyes and other tissues), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), kidney failure, and pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs).
Stage IV: occur several weeks after ingestion and is characterized by gastrointestinal obstruction (blockage) and liver damage.
If the patient has taken more than the recommended dosage, consult a doctor or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

Drug Interactions
Antacids should be taken at least one hour before taking this medicine to avoid decreased Iron absorption.
Tetracyclines should be taken at least one hour before or three hours before taking this medicine to avoid reduced absorption of both drugs.
Quinolones (e.g., Ciprofloxacin, Norfloxacin and Ofloxacin) should be taken at least two hours before taking this medicine since Iron may cause decreased concentrations of Quinolones.
Concomitant intake of Chloramphenicol and Iron salts results in delayed responses to Iron therapy especially in patients with Iron deficiency anemia.
Carbidopa, Levodopa, Methyldopa, and Penicillamine should be taken at least two hours before taking this medicine since Iron may decrease absorption and reduce the bioavailability of these drugs.

Action
This product contains Iron, an important nutrient necessary for healthy blood, synthesis of hemoglobin (an oxygen containing protein which gives blood its red color) and to prevent Iron-deficiency anemia (IDA). IDA is one of the most prevalent nutritional problems in developing countries including the Philippines.
Pregnant women are at particularly high risk of Iron deficiency because of increased Iron needs necessary to replace normal losses, to facilitate growth of the baby in the womb, to cope with the demands of pregnancy, and to replace unusual losses, such as heavy bleeding during delivery. Iron is also required for the proper development of the baby's spinal cord and the white matter of the brain.
