Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to the components;
• Hemochromatosis, hemosiderosis, hemolytic anemias and any anemia that is not caused by lack of iron supply;
• Late cutaneous porphyria.

Side effects

In rare cases, Anerex can cause vomiting, constipation or eventually diarrhea, abdominal pain, hypersensitivity reactions (such as allergies), stool darkening.

Overdose

No poisoning problems have been reported when the drug was used at the indicated doses. When used in high doses, the product can cause hypervitaminosis that disappears by adjusting the doses or stopping the treatment. In case of accidental intake of toxic doses, adrenaline, glucocorticoids should be administered parenterally and gastric lavage with bicarbonate or sodium phosphate solution should be performed. Close monitoring of the patient’s response should be also maintained.

Interaction

Antacids containing calcium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, phosphorus compounds, folates, calcium salts and tetracyclines decrease and/or delay iron absorption. The abuse of alcoholic beverages causes depletion of thiamine and pyridoxine. Pyridoxine contained in Anerex can accelerate the metabolism of levodopa and interact with isoniazid, cycloserine, hydralazine, chloramphenicol, and penicillin. The co-administration of oral anovulatory products and pyridoxine increases the excretion of vitamin B6. Biguanides reduce the absorption of vitamin B12.
