IRON AND PENICILLAMINE
The absorption of penicillamine can be reduced as much as two-thirds by oral iron.
For maximal absorption give the iron at least 2 hours after the penicillamine. Do not stop iron suddenly as the marked increase in absorption that follows may precipitate penicillamine toxicity.
