Ferocit DS Ferrous Fumarate + Folic Acid Tetracycline Hydrochloride

Moderate

Taking ferrous fumarate with folic acid and tetracycline hydrochloride together by mouth means the body absorbs less of both. If you need both medicines, take the iron (ferrous fumarate with folic acid) at least 3 hours before your tetracycline, or wait 2 hours after taking tetracycline before you take the iron.

What should I do?

These medicines are often taken together with some care. Your doctor may change a dose, space them apart or check on you more often. Make sure your doctor and pharmacist know you take both.

Ferocit DS contains Ferrous Sulfate Tetracycline Hydrochloride

Moderate

Ferrous sulfate and tetracycline should not be swallowed at the same time. When both are taken by mouth, the body absorbs less of each one, so neither works as well as it should. If you need both, take ferrous sulfate 3 hours before tetracycline, or 2 hours after it.

What do Major, Moderate and Minor mean?

Major

The combination can cause serious harm or stop a medicine from working. Usually avoided, or only used with close medical supervision.

Moderate

The combination may need care: a different dose, taking them at different times, or extra check-ups.

Minor

Little or no effect is expected. Usually nothing needs to change.

Duplicate

Two of your medicines contain the same ingredient, which can add up to a double dose.
