Best not to take it with birth control pills containing ethinyl, mestranol and estradiol. With meds like ferrous gluconate , Coumadin, and deferasirox

Drinking alcohol makes absorption more difficult.

When you have too much vitamin C, oxalate can increase in your urine and increase your risk for kidney stones and urinary infections.

You might end up in the hospital, which is something you should avoid during the crisis.

And in some conditions like hereditary hemochromatosis, it can cause an iron overload and lead to heart, pancreatitis, lungs..etc damage.

From courses and field training, pharmacology, pathology, hematopathology, genetics. Through a lot of overlapping disciplines and research.

Couple of credible articles and studies you can access:

The list of interactions I provided is not full but it is accurate. You should ask your own doctor about other medications.
