Your healthcare provider will tell you how much medicine to use. Do not use more than directed.

Follow the instructions on the medicine label if you are using this medicine without a prescription.

Take only one capsule per day.

Take the capsule between meals (two hours after the last meal and one hour before the next meal).

Take only one capsule per day.

If a dose is missed, take it on the same day if remembered.

If it’s the next day, skip the missed dose and take that day’s dose as scheduled.

This medicine is not right for everyone. 

Do not use it if you have had an allergic reaction to any of the ingredients in Fusion.

Fusion and other iron supplements should never be taken by people with hemosiderosis (excessive iron deposits in tissues), hemochromatosis (over-absorption of iron by the digestive system), or hemolytic anemias (excessive destruction of red blood cells).

Fusion is intended as a treatment for iron-deficiency anemia. 

Do not use Fusion for several months without talking to a healthcare provider first. 

Before using Fusion, consult a healthcare provider if you have a weak immune system.

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you have any food allergies.

Keep Fusion and other iron supplements securely out of the reach of children. Accidental iron overdoses are one of the leading causes of death in children younger than 6 years old.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, dietary supplements, and foods that you are taking.

Iron supplements can worsen high blood pressure in people taking methyldopa so healthcare professionals avoid the combination.

• Fluoroquinolone antibiotics

• Tetracycline antibiotics

• The thyroid medication levothyroxine

• The heart medication digoxin
