Corvite Fe

⚠️ Warnings & Precautions

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.

Contraindications Corvite Fe should not be used by patients with a known hypersensitivity to any of the listed ingredients. All iron compounds are contraindicated in patients with hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, or hemolytic anemias. Precautions General: Do not exceed recommended dose. The type of anemia and the underlying cause or causes should be determined before starting therapy with Corvite Fe. Since the anemia may be a result of a systemic disturbance, such as recurrent blood loss, the underlying cause or causes should be corrected, if possible. Folic Acid: Folic acid alone is an improper therapy in the treatment of pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin b12 is deficient. Folic acid in doses above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations remain progressive.

Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral administration of folic acid.

The patient's medical conditions and consumption of other drugs, herbs, and/or supplements should be considered.

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric population have not been established.

Drug Interactions There is a possibility of increased bleeding due to pyridoxine interaction with anticoagulants (e.g., aspirin, heparin, clopidogrel).

Adverse Reactions Adverse reactions with iron therapy may include constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dark stools and abdominal pain which are usually transient. Overdosage The clinical course of acute iron overdosage can be variable. Initial symptoms may include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tarry stools melena, hematemesis, hypotension, tachycardia, metabolic acidosis, hyperglycemia, dehydration, drowsiness, pallor, cyanosis, lassitude, seizures, shock and coma.

Keep out of reach of children.
