Interactions for Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
(Oral Iron): Antacids: GI absorption of iron reduced.
Ascorbic acid: GI absorption of iron enhanced.
Chloramphenicol: Serum iron levels may be increased.
Cimetidine: GI absorption may be reduced.
Levodopa: Decreased levodopa serum levels.
Methyldopa: May result in decreased efficacy of methyldopa.
Quinolones: GI absorption of quinolones decreased.
Penicillamine: Marked reduction in GI absorption of penicillamine.
Tetracyclines: Decrease in the absorption of both tetracyclines and iron salts.
Food: Eggs and milk inhibit iron absorption. Administration of calcium and iron supplementation with food reduces ferrous sulfate absorption by one-third. If combined iron and calcium supplementation required then calcium carbonate should be used and the supplementation taken between meals.
Typical Dosage for Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Oral:
Ferrous fumarate:
Adults: Starts with 50 to 100mg 2 to 3 times daily. Adjust the dosage based on patient`s response.

Storage Requirements for Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Store in a well closed container in a cool dry place. Protect from light.
Effects of Missed Dosage of Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Take the missed dose as soon as noticed and if it is the time for next dose then skip the missed dose. Continue the regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Effects of Overdose of Iron (Carbonyl Iron)
Treatment includes immediate support of airway, respiration, and circulation. In conscious patients induce emesis with ipecac; if not empty stomach by gastric lavage. Follow emesis with lavage, using a 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to convert iron to less irritating poorly absorbed form. Take abdominal X-ray to determine presence of excess iron. Deferoxamine may be used for systemic chelation if serum levels of iron exceed 350mg/dl.
