Warnings and Precautions:
- Do not take if you are allergic to ferrous sulphate or any other ingredients in this product.

Interactions:
Ferrograd Filmtabs may interact with certain medications and foods:
- Antacids, Calcium, and Zinc Supplements: These can reduce iron absorption. Space doses at least two hours apart.
- Tetracyclines and Quinolone Antibiotics: These can also interfere with iron absorption. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining these.
- Food Interactions: Iron absorption can be reduced by foods and drinks like tea, coffee, eggs, dairy, and whole grains. It is advisable to take Ferrograd Filmtabs on an empty stomach, but if you experience stomach discomfort, take it with a small amount of food.
