Interactions

Taking iron preparations such as Ferro sanol® can reduce the intake of many other medications, so that a precise clarification by the physician should be made. The absorption of iron itself can also be inhibited if the patient takes antacids (antacids), tea, coffee or milk at the same time. For this reason, there should be a break of 1-2 hours between the intake of iron preparations and the above mentioned food/medicines. The intake of iron can be increased by vitamin C and other acids, so that taking Ferro sanol® with a glass of vitamin C-containing drink is very beneficial, as this helps to improve the effect of the iron preparation.

Iron Deficiency Test

To diagnose iron deficiency as quickly as possible, certain tests can be performed. Some tests can be purchased online or at the pharmacy, but of course you can also have an iron deficiency test done by your doctor.
