Drug Interactions
Concurrent use of iron with antacids, calcium supplements, tea, coffee, milk or milk products may decrease iron absorption and so, iron supplements should not be taken within one hour before or 2 hours after ingestion of any of the above.
Concurrent administration of FERROFOL VIT-Z with tetracyclines should be avoided, since iron chelates with tetracyclines and absorption of both agents may be impaired.
Pharmacological Properties
FERROFOL VIT-Z is a combination of ferrous sulphate, folic acid, vitamins B and C and Zinc, especially formulated for prophylaxis and treatment of iron deficiency when supplementary vitamins B and C and Zinc are needed.
FERROFOL VIT-Z is formulated as spansule capsules to release most of the iron in the upper small intestine where absorption is greatest and not in the stomach where gastric irritation may occur.
