If you experience severe side effects such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or severe abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions: Ferrous sulphate may interact with other medications, including:

• Antacids such as Gaviscon or Rennies and proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole or Lansoprazole (may reduce iron absorption)
• Certain antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline, quinolones)
• Zinc or calcium supplements (may interfere with absorption) Take ferrous sulphate at least 2 hours apart from these medications.

Important Information:

• To maximise absorption, take ferrous sulphate on an empty stomach, ideally an hour before meals. However, if you experience stomach upset, it may be taken with food.
• Avoid taking with tea, coffee, or dairy products, as these can reduce the absorption of iron.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
