Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is no harm in giving these both medications because both have a different mode of action, but the important point to consider is to try to give one medicine at lunchtime and another at dinner. Do not give them at the same time. These two medicines will effect this way properly when you give them with a time difference. One medicine is an iron supplement, and the other is Vitamin B complex.

Thank you.
