Contraindicated in patients with hemochromatosis, iron storage diseases, or known hypersensitivity to any ingredient. Avoid high-dose iron in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions without confirmed deficiency.

Side effects

How it works

Iron is incorporated into hemoglobin and myoglobin, supporting oxygen transport. Zinc is essential for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in DNA synthesis and immune response. Copper is required for iron metabolism, connective tissue synthesis, and antioxidant defense via superoxide dismutase.

Storage

Store at 20–25°C. Avoid exposure to moisture, which can discolor or erode the tablet.
