  • If you have any disease that causes iron overload or an alteration in the way your body uses iron.
  • If you have received multiple blood transfusions.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment, your doctor will do a blood test to make sure your anaemia is not severe and is not caused by anything other than low iron levels.

Do not take Feraccru if you are experiencing an "exacerbation or flare-up" of your IBD.
