Product Details

Optifer Alpha is an iron supplement used to treat iron deficiency. This iron supplement is derived from meat and poultry, which is your body’s preferred method of acquiring iron. Most of the time, people get their iron from the foods they eat. Iron is used by your body to form red blood cells and transport oxygen throughout the body.

The common side effects of Optifer Alpha include: upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, constipation, reddish-brown urine or stools.

The more serious side effects may include:

• Signs of allergic reaction:
o Difficulty breathing
o Hives
o Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat

Precautions

You should not take Optifer Alpha if you are allergic to Iron or meat products, or if you have iron overload disorder. Before you start taking Optifer Alpha, talk to your doctor about your medical history and about all the medications you currently take including OTC and herbal medications. Tell your doctor if you are nursing or pregnant, as your dosages may need to be adjusted during this time. Do not give Optifer Alpha to children without medical advice. Be sure to take Optifer Alpha exactly as your doctor describes for you. Follow all instructions that come with your medication. Do not take it in larger or smaller amounts, or for longer than recommended. An overdose of iron can be fatal, especially for young children. Take this medication with a full glass of water and do not lie down for the first 30-minutes after consuming. Store away from moisture and heat. There can be interactions between Optifer Alpha and other medications. Talk to your doctor before you use other medications while on Optifer Alpha.
