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.
