administration of antacids.

tetracyclinesand quinolones(antibiotics),
bisphosphonates(used for osteoporosis and some cancers),

3. How to take Ferplex
Take this medicine following exactly the instructions of your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
The recommended dose is:
Adults: 1 to 2 containers per day (equivalent to 40-80 mg of Fe/day), according to medical judgement, divided into two administrations, preferably before
meals.

If you take more Ferplex than you should
In case of ingestion/taking an excessive dose of this medicine, consult your doctor immediately or go to the nearest hospital.

Treatment should be as prompt as possible and consists of the administration of an emetic (a medicine that induces vomiting), possibly followed by
gastric lavage, and in practicing appropriate supportive therapy. The opportunity to administer an iron chelator (a medicine capable of
