INTERACTION WITH OTHER DRUGS AND OTHER INTERACTIONS
Studies in rats using tetracycline, aluminum hydroxide, acetylsalicylic acid, sulfasalazine, calcium carbonate, calcium acetate, calcium phosphate in conjunction with vitamin D3, bromazepam, magnesium aspartate, D-penicillamine, methyldopa, paracetamol and Auranofin showed no interaction with the polymaltose complex ( iii) hydroxide.
The use of the drug Ferrum Lek does not affect the test results for detecting occult blood (sensitive to hemoglobin), so there is no need to stop treatment with Ferrum Lek.
FEATURES OF APPLICATION
Caution should be exercised in relation to patients receiving repeated blood transfusions, since erythrocytes already have an iron reserve, and taking the drug Ferrum Lek can lead to iron oversaturation.
When prescribing the drug Ferrum Lek for patients with diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to take into account that 1 chewable tablet contains 0.04 XE.
1 tablet contains 1.5 mg of aspartame (the precursor of phenylalanine), which should be taken into account when prescribing Ferrum Lek to patients with phenylketonuria.
Iron preparations should be used with caution in patients with such diseases: leukemia, chronic liver and kidney diseases, inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, bowel disease (enteritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease).
When using a polymaltose iron complex, a dark color of feces is possible, but this has no clinical significance.
