This capsule is used for the treatment, prevention, and management of conditions such as iron deficiency, megaloblastic anemia due to folic acid deficiency, and anemia related to nutritional deficiency, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by the physician.

This is a combination preparation of carbonyl iron and folic acid. It contains carbonyl iron with a high iron content (not less than 98%). Due to its high bioavailability and low toxicity, carbonyl iron is considered a safe and effective option for iron supplementation.

Adult: One capsule daily before food or as directed by the physician.

Carbonyl iron may reduce the absorption of certain medications such as tetracycline antibiotics, quinolone antibiotics, levodopa, levothyroxine, methyldopa, and penicillamine. Folic acid may interact with antiepileptic drugs, potentially lowering the plasma levels of phenobarbital, phenytoin, and primidone.

This medication is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components. Iron therapy should also be avoided in patients with hemolytic anemia.

Allergic reactions have been reported with oral folic acid. Oral iron preparations may cause constipation, especially in elderly patients, and in some cases may lead to fecal impaction.

The use of any medication during the first trimester of pregnancy should be avoided unless clearly necessary. Iron therapy in early pregnancy should only be given when iron deficiency is confirmed. Preventive supplementation of iron and folic acid may be considered during the later stages of pregnancy, particularly in cases of inadequate dietary intake.

Iron may form complexes with antacids and tetracycline, which can reduce the absorption of both when taken together.
