Can I take Fluanxol and Iron supplements together?

Why this happens

Iron can bind to certain medications in the digestive tract, forming a complex that the body cannot easily absorb into the bloodstream.

What you should do

To avoid this interaction, try to space the doses apart. It is generally recommended to take Fluanxol at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking your iron supplement. If you notice your symptoms returning, speak with your doctor.
