Iberet Active Special Precautions

General: Patients should be advised to keep these products out of the reach of children.
Acute iron poisoning occurs rarely in adults, but it could happen if children swallow this medication. See the Signs and Symptoms of Overdosage under Overdosage for symptoms and treatment of acute iron poisoning.
Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under six years of age. Keep this product out of the reach of children. In cases of accidental overdose, call a doctor or seek medical advice immediately.
Iron therapy could induce relapse of erythropoietic protoporphyria. Iron overload has been suggested as being involved in the pathogenesis of porphyria cutanea tarda.
Where anemia exists, its nature should be established and underlying cause determined. As is the case with most medications, these should be stored out of reach of children.
Concomitant parenteral therapy with vitamin B₁₂ may be necessary in patients with deficiency of vitamin B₁₂.
Caution should be exercised when dosing ascorbic acid in patients with chronic renal failure and in patients receiving acetylsalicylic acid.
