Pharmacology: Trev Iron FAB capsule contains ferrous sulfate, folic acid, vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12. These nutrients are the essential catalysts in the synthesis, degradation and utilization of carbohydrates, amino acids and fats.

These are also required for the normal function of the nervous system and used as adjunct in the management of various neuromuscular disorders.
Indications/Uses
This medicine is used for the prevention and treatment of iron-deficiency anemia, folate deficiency, and for the lowering of plasma homocysteine. It is used to prevent and treat deficiencies of vitamin B1, B6, and B12 and as an adjunct in the management of neuromuscular pain.
Dosage/Direction for Use
This medicine is taken orally, one capsule daily with or without food.
If the patients have forgotten to take the medicine, just take the next dose and the subsequent doses at the usual recommended schedule. Do not double the dose unless recommended by the doctor.

Special Precautions
Iron should be used cautiously in patients with a history of gastritis, peptic ulcer, and GI bleeding.
Administration of cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) in doses greater than 10 mcg daily may produce a hematological response in patients with folate deficiency.
Although B-complex vitamins are relatively non-toxic, adverse neurologic effects have been reported following chronic administration of high doses; long term and megadose (see possible symptoms of overdose in Overdosage).
Ferrous and other salts should not be given to patients receiving repeated blood transfusion or patients with anemias not produced by iron deficiency unless iron deficiency is also present.

Drug Interactions
Iron: Cefdinir; bisphosphonates; carbidopa/levodopa; entacapone; fluoroquinolone; levodopa; levothyroxine; methyldopa; mycophenolate mofetil; penicillamine; and tetracyclines: Iron may reduce absorption of these drugs.
Vitamin B1: Neuromuscular blocking agent (Tubocurarine chloride, Metocurine iodide, Pancuronium bromide and Vecuronium bromide) may be enhanced by high doses of Vitamin B1 although the clinical significance of this is unknown.
Vitamin B complex: Do not take phenobarbital or phenytoin together with Vitamin B Complex as it may reduce blood level. Concomitant intake of anticoagulant (e.g. warfarin, aspirin, etc) may result in enhanced anticoagulant (blood thinning) response.
Folic Acid: Methotrexate, Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or diclofenac can deplete Folic acid consumption.
Tell the doctor about any other medicines the patient is taking, including supplements and herbal products.
