Iron salts are not well absorbed by mouth, and food may further impair their absorption. Compounds containing calcium and magnesium, including antacids and mineral supplements, and bicarbonates, carbonates, oxalates, or phosphates, may impair the absorption of iron by the formation of insoluble complexes. Zinc salts may also decrease the absorption of iron. The absorption of both iron salts and tetracyclines is diminished when taken together orally.

Action
Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Multivitamins (Ferlette) Capsule exerts the synergistic actions of Buclizine, B-complex vitamins and iron in a nutritional supplement to stimulate appetite. Buclizine has metabolic effects that have been shown to stimulate appetite. The B-complex vitamins, particularly Vitamins B1, B6 and B12, are required in numerous metabolic processes involving protein, carbohydrate and fat that lead to energy production and utilization and to growth in children. Iron corrects hematologic abnormalities due to nutritional anemia. Correction of Iron deficiency anemia has been shown to improve appetite and work efficiency. Multivitamins (Ferlette) Capsule also contains the essential amino acid, Lysine, which is necessary for growth and development.
