1. IRONEXT SYRUP Iron is most commonly used for preventing and treating anemia caused by low iron levels. It is also used for anemia caused by abnormal heavy bleeding during menstrual periods (menorrhagia), pregnancy, or kidney problems. Athletic performance - Early research shows that taking iron by mouth can improve the ability to exercise in younger women and children. Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) - Developing research shows that taking iron by mouth for 1-3 months improves some symptoms of attention problems in children with ADHD and low iron levels. Breath-holding attacks - Early research suggests that taking iron by mouth or through a shot reduces the number of breath-holding attacks in children. Child development - Early research shows that iron does not improve thinking or learning in infants and children who do not have anemia. It is also unknown if iron will improve a child's movement skills. Other early evidence shows that taking iron does not increase growth in children. Some research has found that infants with low iron levels have delayed verbal and social skills in childhood, but it's unknown if taking iron will resolve these issues. Cancer of the esophagus - Early research shows that people who take iron supplements are 32% less likely to develop one type of esophageal cancer. Fatigue - There is some early evidence that taking iron as ferrous sulfate might improve unexplained fatigue in women. Depression after childbirth (postpartum depression) - Early research shows that taking iron might reduce symptoms of depression after giving birth.

When taken by mouth: Iron is LIKELY SAFE for most people when it is taken by mouth in appropriate amounts. It can cause side effects such as stomach upset and

2. pain, constipation or diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Taking iron supplements with food seems to reduce some of these side effects. However, food can also reduce how well the body can absorb iron. Iron should be taken on an empty stomach if possible. If it causes too many side effects, it can be taken with food. Try to avoid taking iron with foods containing dairy products, coffee, tea, or cereals. There are many forms of iron products such as ferrous sulfate, ferrous gluconate, ferrous fumarate, and others. Some products, such as those containing polysaccharide- iron complex (Niferex-150, etc), claim to cause fewer side effects than others. But there is no reliable evidence to support this claim. Some enteric coated or controlled release iron products might reduce nausea for some people; however, the body may not be able to absorb these products as well. Liquid iron supplements may blacken teeth. When given by IV: Iron is LIKELY SAFE for most people when it is given by IV in appropriate amounts. Iron is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant and breast-feeding women who have enough iron stored in their bodies when used in doses below the tolerable upper intake level (UL) of 45 mg per day of elemental iron. The UL is the highest level of intake at which no harmful side effects are expected. However, iron is LIKELY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in high doses. If you do not have iron deficiency, do not take more than 45 mg per day of elemental iron. Higher doses cause stomach and intestinal side effects such as nausea and vomiting and may even cause preterm birth in some women. Higher doses of iron can cause high levels of hemoglobin in the blood. High hemoglobin levels at the time of delivery are associated with bad pregnancy outcomes.
