Effects:
Most people can take this medication with minimal or no side effects.
Stomach
upset may occur. Stools may appear darker in color due to the iron. Do
not be alarmed.
Precautions:
Do not take ferrous sulfate (iron) without consulting a doctor if you have ulcers,
colitis or intestinal disease. This medication should be used only when
clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your
doctor. This drug is excreted into breast milk. Consult your doctor
before breast-feeding. Because ferrous sulfate can cause false results
in tests for blood in the stools, tell the doctor or laboratory personnel that
you take ferrous sulfate. Eggs and milk decrease iron absorption. Coffee
and tea that is drunk with a meal or 1 hour after a meal may also decrease iron
absorption. Accidental overdose of iron-containing products can be very
dangerous and even fatal. Keep this medication out of the reach of children.
If overdose occurs, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
