Integra Plus Tips from Pharmacists

• You should take Integra Plus between meals, ideally at bedtime, because iron is better absorbed on an empty stomach. But if Integra Plus causes stomach upset, it may help to take it after meals.

• Iron supplements can make stool appear darker, but this is harmless. But call your doctor immediately if you notice blood in the stool.

• Read the labels of all your dietary supplements. Many different brands of multivitamins contain iron, along with other nutrients. Taking multiple iron-containing products can result in an overdose.

• Integra Plus is not for pediatric use. Call the poison control center immediately if a child ingests this medicine accidentally. Accidental iron poisoning can result in fatal poisoning in children under 6 years of age.
