IRON AND METHYLDOPA

The antihypertensive effects of methyldopa can be reduced by ferrous sulfate or ferrous gluconate. Other iron compounds are expected to interact similarly.
Monitor the effects of concurrent use and increase the methyldopa dosage as necessary. Separating the dosages by up to 2 hours apparently only partially reduces the effects of this interaction.
