Overdose
Symptoms: nausea, weakness, gastrointestinal disorders. In case of overdose, the patient should consult a doctor.

Drug Interactions
The preparation contains iron and calcium, therefore, when used concomitantly with antibiotics of the tetracycline group, as well as antimicrobial agents – fluoroquinolone derivatives, the absorption of the latter from the gastrointestinal tract is slowed down.
Ascorbic acid enhances the action and side effects of antimicrobial agents from the sulfonamide group.
Antacid preparations containing aluminum, magnesium, calcium, as well as cholestyramine, reduce the absorption of iron.
With the simultaneous use of thiazide diuretics, the likelihood of hypercalcemia increases.
It is not recommended to use Vitrum® concomitantly with preparations containing vitamins A and D, as this increases the risk of overdose of these vitamins.
