Drug-Drug Interaction:

• Antacids and Proton Pump Inhibitors (e.g., calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, omeprazole, pantoprazole): These medicines reduce stomach acid, which can significantly decrease the absorption of FEROLOT TABLET.
• Certain Antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline, ciprofloxacin): Taking these medicines with FEROLOT TABLET can reduce the absorption of both the antibiotic and the iron.
• Thyroid Medications (e.g., levothyroxine): FEROLOT TABLET can reduce the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
• Calcium Supplements (e.g., calcium carbonate, calcium citrate): Calcium competes with iron for absorption in the gut, lowering the effectiveness of FEROLOT TABLET.

Drug-Food Interaction:

• Tea and Coffee: Compounds called tannins in these drinks can bind to iron and drastically reduce its absorption.
• Dairy Products: The high calcium content in milk, cheese, and yoghurt interferes with how your body absorbs the iron in FEROLOT TABLET.
• High-Fiber Foods: Foods very high in phytates (like whole grains or bran) can limit iron uptake if eaten at the same time as your medication.

Drug-Disease Interaction:

• Haemochromatosis or Haemosiderosis: Do not take FEROLOT TABLET if you suffer from these iron overload disorders, as it can cause dangerous levels of iron buildup.
• Peptic Ulcers or Ulcerative Colitis: Iron can irritate the digestive tract lining and potentially worsen active inflammation or bleeding in these conditions.
• Haemolytic Anaemia: If your anaemia is due to red blood cell destruction rather than iron deficiency, taking FEROLOT TABLET is not appropriate and can lead to iron toxicity.
