    Warnings & Precautions

    WARNINGS

    WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.

    Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach; however, occasional gastrointestinal discomfort (such as nausea) may be minimized by taking with meals. Iron-containing medication may occasionally cause black stools, constipation, or diarrhea, which is usually transient and self-limiting.

    If pregnant or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use.

    NOTICE: This product is supplied in tamper-evident blisters. Do not use if outer foil is torn or missing.
