How to take Astyfer Z Liquid

Oral liquid/syrup. Shake well before use and measure with a cup/spoon. Take as advised by a doctor; commonly taken after food to reduce stomach upset. Avoid taking at the same time as milk, tea/coffee, calcium or antacids; keep a 2-hour gap.

Safety advice for Astyfer Z Liquid

Warnings and precautions

Do not exceed the recommended dose; accidental iron overdose can be dangerous, especially in children—keep out of reach. Use with caution in patients with iron overload (e.g., haemochromatosis/haemosiderosis), repeated blood transfusions, peptic ulcer disease or inflammatory bowel disease. If you have anaemia from causes other than iron deficiency, consult a doctor before use. Stop and seek medical help if you develop allergic reactions.

Interactions with other medicines

Antacids, calcium supplements and dairy reduce iron absorption; tetracyclines and fluoroquinolones (e.g., doxycycline, ciprofloxacin) interact—separate by 2–4 hours; levothyroxine—separate by at least 4 hours; bisphosphonates (alendronate), penicillamine, methyldopa—separate dosing; tea/coffee reduce absorption.
