carbonyl iron food

Applies to: Icar (carbonyl iron)

Food may reduce the absorption and blood levels of carbonyl iron. In addition, some oral medications can also interfere with carbonyl iron absorption into the bloodstream, which may make the medication less effective in treating your condition. Likewise, carbonyl iron may interfere with the absorption of other orally administered medications. You should take carbonyl iron on an empty stomach at least one hour before or two hours after a meal. Your doctor may be able to prescribe alternatives that do not interact, or you may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring to safely use both medications. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about how to take this or other medications you are prescribed. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
