Side Effects

Precautions
Iron is best taken as your doctor directs and kept well out of reach of children, as iron overdose is dangerous for young children. It can take some weeks for iron levels to recover, so keep taking it for the full period advised. Tea and coffee reduce iron absorption.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines or supplements you take, any allergies, and if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding.
How to Use
Use Irobest syrup exactly as your doctor or pharmacist tells you. Shake the bottle well if the label says so, and measure each dose with the cup or spoon that comes with the pack, not a kitchen spoon. Read the leaflet inside the pack before you start.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as directed on the pack. Keep out of the reach of children and do not use after the expiry date.
