Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years of age. Keep this product out of the reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.

Since oral iron products interfere with absorption of oral tetracycline antibiotics, these products should not be taken within two hours of each other. Occasional gastrointestinal discomfort (such as nausea) may be minimized by taking with meals. Iron containing medications may occasionally cause constipation or diarrhea, and may cause temporary staining of the teeth. Mixing Ferrous Sulfate Elixir with water or fruit juice may help to decrease the effects.
Do not take Ferrous Sulfate Elixir within 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids, eggs, milk, milk byproducts, coffee, or tea.
Keep out of reach of children.
