1.Do not take this medicine with tea, milk or eggs as
they reduce the absorption of it in the stomach
2. Do not take this medicine if you have stomach ulcers, allergies to this medication in the past.
3. If there is gastritis or vomiting - she can take tab. Pantoprazole 40mg to reduce the gastritis. But it can reduce the absorption of iron into the body.
4. If the gastritis is severe , she should go for iron injections
