Description
Ferrograd C Tablets
Ferrograd C Tablets are an iron supplement used to prevent and treat iron-deficiency anaemia and vitamin C deficiency when the two are present together. The prolonged release formula releases the iron gradually to reduce the gastro-intestinal irritation associated with iron supplements and the added vitamin C helps the body to adsorb the iron.
Iron is essential for your body to produce normal blood red cells.

Cautions
- Ferrograd C tablets may not work as well if they are taken around the same time as the following foods: tea, coffee, eggs, milk or milk products, wholegrain bread and cereals, and any high fibre food. Make sure you take your tablets at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating any of these foods.
- This medicine can be taken during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
- Talk to your doctor before you take Ferrograd C Tablets if you have difficulties swallowing. If you accidentally choke on a tablet, please contact your doctor as soon as possible. Before taking Ferrograd C Tablets consult your doctor if you are diabetic as Ferrograd C may stop your urine sugar test sticks from working properly.
- This is because there is a risk of ulcers and narrowing of the bronchus occurring if the tablet enters the airways. This may result in persistent coughing, coughing up blood and/or feeling out of breath, even if the choking happened days to months before these symptoms occurred. Therefore you need to be urgently assessed to make sure that the tablet doesn't damage your airways.
- Before taking this tablet speak to your doctor if you are elderly or suffering from any bowel problem as the plastic coating of the tablet may not be suitable.
- Ferrograd is not recommended for children under 12 years old. Acute iron poisoning is a serious risk in the paediatric population.
- Your stools may turn black whilst taking Ferrograd C. If you have a test for the detection of blood in your stools, tell your doctor you are taking Ferrograd C as black stools may cause an incorrect result to the test.
