Consumer:Vitamin E may interfere with the effects of ferrous sulfate in the treatment of anemia. Contact your doctor if your symptoms worsen or your condition changes. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:MONITOR: Limited data suggest that vitamin E may diminish the therapeutic response to iron therapy in patients with iron deficiency anemia. The mechanism has not been established. In a group of 26 anemic children treated with iron dextran for 3 days, nine patients who also received vitamin E (200 units starting one day before iron dextran) had a reticulocyte response of only 4.4%, compared to 14.4% in the other patients. The patients who received vitamin E also had reduced hemoglobin levels and lower hematocrit.
MANAGEMENT: Patients receiving iron therapy for iron deficiency anemia should be monitored for potentially reduced hematologic response if vitamin E is administered concomitantly.
