  • megaloblastic anaemias of pregnancy.
  • pellagra.
  • Hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients.
  • Symptoms of iron intolerance.
  • Iron salts and tetracycline absorption is diminished if taken concomitantly by mouth.
  • Iron salts should be administered 3 hours before or 2 hours after the tetracycline administration.
  • Concomitant ingestion of antiacids and tea will also decrease the absorption of iron salts.
  • Iron salts may reduce the effects of penicillamine.
  • Quinolone anti-infective agent absorption is diminished if taken concomitantly by mouth with iron salts. Oral preparations should not be administered within two hours of quinolone agents. 
  • Haemorich® can be used during pregnancy and lactation,(prescribed by physician or pharmacist).
     
  • Excessive doses of iron preparations may lead to toxicity in children.
  • Side effects of iron administered in therapeutic doses may include gastro-intestinal discomfort, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation. 
  • Side effects may be reduced by taking the medication with or immediately after food. As a result of iron therapy stools may become darkened or black in colour.
  • Circulatory failure may occur if the diarrhea and  haemorrhage are severe.

Overdosage:

  • Symptoms of overdosage can be any of those described under "Side-effects and Special Precautions" below.
  • If any symptoms of intolerance occur, the drug should be temporarily or permanently discontinued.
  • In acute poisoning the desferrioxamine should be administered under the direction of a physician but preferably should not be administered during the pregnancy.
