A, C, D, E
Feedback:
The liquid preparation of ferrous sulfate (Feosol) should be mixed with juice and swallowed by using a straw to avoid teeth staining. The child should thoroughly brush teeth to also prevent staining. High-fiber foods and water help reduce the risk of constipation from this medication. This medication should not be taken with milk because it will interfere with absorption.
