Pregnancy

A large number of data on pregnant women do not indicate any congenital malformations with the therapeutic use of iron (II) salts.Animal studies showed no reproductive toxicity.If clinically necessary, the preparation can be taken during pregnancy.Iron(II) salts are excreted in breast milk, but no effects on the newborn or infant are expected at therapeutic doses.If clinically necessary, the preparation can be taken during breastfeeding.

Animal studies showed no effects on female and male fertility.No effects on fertility in humans are expected at therapeutic doses.If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.

Notes

Taking it with a meal leads to better tolerability, but reduces optimal iron absorption.Taking it one hour before meals or between meals improves intestinal absorption and is therefore recommended.When taking iron supplements, the stool usually turns black and is harmless during treatment. Iron supplements can cause constipation.During iron therapy, tests for blood in stool, urine and gastric juice can be falsely positive.
