If your child is using hydrocortisone, follow your doctor's instructions very carefully.

  • Large sores, broken skin, or severe skin injury at the place of application—The chance of side effects may be increased.

Proper Use of hydrocortisone


It is very important that you use hydrocortisone only as directed by your doctor. Do not use more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may cause unwanted side effects or skin irritation.


hydrocortisone is for use on the skin only. Do not get it in your eyes. Do not use it on skin areas that have cuts, scrapes, or burns. If it does get on these areas, rinse it off right away with water.

If your or your child's symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, check with your doctor.

Pronunciation: EYE-urn/VYE-ta-min C/FOE-lik AS-id
Generic Name: Iron/Vitamin C/Folic Acid
Brand Name: NovaFerrum

Accidental overdose of products that contain iron is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children younger than 6 years old. Keep this and all medicines out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, call the poison control center or a doctor at once.





NovaFerrum is used for:

Preventing and treating anemia caused by low levels of iron in the body (iron deficiency anemia). It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Do NOT use NovaFerrum if:


  • you are allergic to any ingredient in NovaFerrum

  • you have high levels of iron in your body (eg, hemosiderosis, hemochromatosis) or you have a certain type of anemia (hemolytic anemia)

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Some medical conditions may interact with NovaFerrum. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:


  • if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

  • if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement

  • if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances

  • if you have another type of anemia (eg, pernicious anemia, megaloblastic anemia)

  • if you have stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation, Crohn disease, ulcer), metabolism problems, porphyria, or a blood disease (eg, thalassemia)

  • if you have had multiple blood transfusions

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with NovaFerrum. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:


  • Fluorouracil because the risk of its side effects may be increased by NovaFerrum

  • Doxycycline, hydantoins (eg, phenytoin), mycophenolate, penicillamine, or thyroid hormones (eg, levothyroxine) because their effectiveness may be decreased by NovaFerrum

This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if NovaFerrum may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

Use NovaFerrum as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.


  • Take NovaFerrum by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.

  • Use a measuring device marked for medicine dosing. Ask your pharmacist for help if you are unsure of how to measure your dose.


  • Many medicines (eg, used for infection, blood pressure, immune system suppression, low blood platelets, osteoporosis, thyroid problems) should not be taken at the same time as NovaFerrum because their effectiveness may be decreased. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if your dose of NovaFerrum should be separated from your dose of any of your other medicines.

  • Taking NovaFerrum at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.

  • Take NovaFerrum on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.

  • If you miss a dose of NovaFerrum, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
