normal (roughly twice the period required to normalize hemoglobin
concentration).
Monitor bowel movements as constipation is a common adverse effect.
Instruct patient to avoid concurrent use of alcohol or OTC medicine without
consulting the physician.
Instruct the patient/give on an empty stomach if possible because oral iron
preparations are best absorbed then (i.e., between meals). Minimize gastric
distress if needed by giving with or immediately after meals with adequate liquid.
Inform patient that taking the iron supplement will cause a dark green or black
stool.
For breast-feeding women; Iron supplements are commonly recommended, with
no adverse effects have been documented.
Ascorbic acid increases absorption of iron. Consuming citrus fruit or tomato juice
with iron preparation (except the elixir) may increase its absorption.
To promote absorption, tell patient to take tablets with orange juice.
Consult your doctor if you observe any of the following side-effects, especially if
they do not go away.
