Take on an empty stomach for best absorption unless stomach upset occurs. Space doses at least 2 hours apart from calcium supplements, antacids, or thyroid medications. Common side effects include constipation, dark stools, and mild stomach upset. Iron supplements may cause false positives in stool occult blood tests.
