Contraindications

This product is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients. Iron therapy is contraindicated in the presence of hemolytic anaemia.  

Side Effects

Dark stool is usual during iron therapy, and symptoms of gastrointestinal irritation, such as anorexia, discomfort, constipation and diarrhea are sometimes encountered. Zinc may also produce gastrointestinal upset. Iron is present as carbonyl iron to reduce the possibility of gastrointestinal irritation. There have been rare reports of allergic reactions. 

Pregnancy & Lactation

Recommended.

Precautions & Warnings

Special care should be taken in patients who may develop iron overload, such as those with hemochromatosis, hemolytic anaemia or red cell aplasia. Iron chelates with tetracycline and absorption may be impaired. In patient with renal failure there may be risk of zinc accumulation.

Overdose Effects

Accidental overdose of iron containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children fewer than 6 years. Avoid higher doses if you have liver disease or hemochromatosis; excess can cause bloody diarrhea, vomiting, acidosis, darkened stools, abdominal pain. Symptoms may clear in a few hours. Riboflavin is reported to be completely safe and no toxic symptoms have been reported so far. Higher doses of Nicotinamide may cause vomiting, diarrhea. Sensory neuropathy was observed in individuals consuming more than 200 mg Pyridoxine for very long periods. No cases of Folic acid overdose have been reported. Acute ingestion of Ascorbic acid, even of massive doses, is unlikely to cause significant effects.
