Can I overdose on iron?

Yes, you can overdose on an iron supplement. Be smart and follow the dosage instructions on the Feosol package.

In fact, if you have small children in your home, take extra precaution as accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under age 6. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or call poison control center immediately. If you suspect that your child has overdosed, note that treatment is effective if instituted early enough and should be sought immediately.
