Oroferon iron supplement is used to treat iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia. It replaces iron needed to make red blood cells; use it for a diagnosed deficiency and follow the dose and course prescribed for you.
Take Oroferon iron supplement exactly as directed on your prescription or package leaflet, with water. If your tablet is modified-release, swallow it whole rather than crushing or chewing it, and do not increase the dose yourself.
Oroferon iron supplement may be absorbed better on an empty stomach, but taking it with food can ease stomach upset. Follow the instructions for your specific pack, since the best timing may depend on how well you tolerate it.
Avoid taking Oroferon iron supplement at the same time as tea, coffee, milk, or calcium-rich products, which can reduce iron absorption. Take it with water and leave a gap before having these drinks or foods.
Yes, Oroferon iron supplement can turn stools dark or black, a common effect of iron supplements. Seek medical advice if stools look tarry, you see blood, or you feel unwell, rather than assuming the change is from iron.
Yes, Oroferon iron supplement can cause constipation; nausea or stomach discomfort can also occur. Drinking enough fluids and eating fibre-rich foods may help. If symptoms are severe or persistent, do not stop treatment without getting advice.
Oroferon iron supplement may take several weeks to improve symptoms, while rebuilding iron stores can take longer. Feeling better does not necessarily mean the deficiency is corrected, so follow-up blood tests help determine whether treatment is working.
Yes, Oroferon iron supplement can affect the absorption of some antibiotics, thyroid medicines, and antacids, and they may affect iron absorption too. Ask a pharmacist how far apart to take your medicines; the required interval varies by drug.
If you miss a dose of Oroferon iron supplement, take it when you remember unless it is nearly time for the next one. Skip it in that case and resume your usual schedule; never double a dose to make up for one.
If you take more Oroferon iron supplement than directed, seek urgent poison-control or emergency-service advice, especially if a child swallowed it. Iron overdose can be dangerous; keep the package available so responders can identify the product.

GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.
Oroferon iron supplement is a tablet product used as a source of iron, not a food or drink. It may be recommended when a person needs additional iron, with use guided by a healthcare professional or the product leaflet.
There is no usual meal or serving tradition: it is taken according to the instructions, typically with water, rather than added to breakfast or used as a snack. Its food-style calorie and macronutrient values are negligible; its nutritional purpose is iron, not energy or protein. Follow the directions for timing and dose, and keep it out of children’s reach.
Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
