FAQs

It is recommended not to take Ferfez Tablet along with tea, coffee, milk, and eggs since they might interfere with iron absorption from Ferfez Tablet .

Ferfez Tablet is best absorbed if taken on an empty stomach. But in some patients, Ferfez Tablet may cause gastrointestinal disturbances like stomach upset or constipation when taken without food. So, please take it as suggested by your doctor if you have stomach problems.
