Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy1 Year agoA. iron supplements need to be taken on an empty stomach. it can be taken anytime of the day but it is advisable to take either 1 hour before food or 1 hour after food.
if taken with food the advantage of the medicine will be less.
also it is not advisable to take iron supplements with any other medicine and a gap should be maintained if other medicines are going on(half hour gap is enough).
you have to make the child drink water after taking iron supplements otherwise it can caused black staining of the tooth.
it will lead to black colour stool of the child which is totally normal.
RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl1 Year agoA. Look this is an iron supplement that you’re giving to the child she’s only suggested to give iron supplement to the child when the child is having deficiency or lower level of haemoglobin so you need to look for that and then of course yes you can give a supplement to the child is no problem
