Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if a child has been taking Sytron for a long time or at high doses as this can lead to toxic accumulation in the body

Other medicines and Sytron

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.

Do not take Sytron if you:

  • are currently having iron injections

Sytron with food and drink

Tea, coffee, eggs, milk, ascorbic acid (vitamin c) and citric acid, may interfere with Sytron.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

Driving and using machines

Sytron is not expected to have an effect on your ability to drive or operate machinery.

Sytron contains:

  • Methyl hydroxybenzoate (E218), propyl hydroxybenzoate (E216), ponceau 4R (E124) – may cause allergic reactions (possibly delayed).
  • Sorbitol (sugar) – this medicine contains 1400 mg sorbitol in each dosage unit (5 ml) which is equivalent to 280 mg/ml. Sorbitol is a source of fructose. If your doctor has told you that you (or your child) have an intolerance to some sugars or if you have been diagnosed with hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), a rare genetic disorder in which a person cannot break down fructose, talk to your doctor before you (or your child) take or receive this medicine. Sorbitol may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and mild laxative effect.
  • Ethanol (alcohol) – this medicinal product contains small amounts of ethanol (alcohol), less than 100 mg in the maximum dose of 10 ml.
  • Sodium(salt) – this medicine contains approximately 23 mg sodium (main component of cooking/table salt) in the maximum dose of 10 ml (2 x 5 ml spoonfuls). This is equivalent to 1.2% of the recommended daily dietary intake of sodium for an adult. However, if you are taking smaller doses e.g. 1 x 5 ml spoonful at a time or less then it contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, that is to say essentially ‘sodium free’.

    I have been using Sytron regularly for maintenance of IDA. It is the best oral Iron medicine that I can tolerate with no side effects. Price is a bit steep but worth it. Thanks Dock Pharmacy!
