Dosage Regimen

The method of application and dosage regimen for a specific drug depend on its form of release and other factors. The optimal dosage regimen is determined by the doctor. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the compliance of the dosage form of a specific drug with the indications for use and dosage regimen.

Take one capsule orally three times daily with meals to enhance iron absorption and minimize potential gastrointestinal discomfort.

Adhere strictly to the recommended dosage; do not exceed it. The standard course of administration is one month. This is not a medicine.

Adverse Reactions

Gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, epigastric pain, constipation, or diarrhea may occur. These effects are often dose-dependent.

Allergic reactions, including skin rash, itching, or urticaria, are possible in individuals with hypersensitivity. Discontinue use immediately if any adverse reactions manifest.

Drug Interactions and Concomitant Use Precautions

Iron can reduce the absorption of tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, levodopa, levothyroxine, and bisphosphonates; administer these agents at least 2 hours apart.

Ascorbic acid may increase the absorption of iron. Vitamin C can alter urinary glucose tests and potentially interact with anticoagulants like warfarin. Concurrent use with antacids may decrease iron absorption.
