Yes, its ok to take the iron as it is directed on the box. The warning is so parents keep it away from infants and mostly toddlers because they think its candy and yes it can be very harmful. But as for you use the direction on the box. Be careful iron usually cause upset stomach and constipation. So take it with some food. And remember never take any medication with out parents permission.

You may take as an adult. They have to put warning labels on scripts that could cause an OD. That's on there I would guess for children & their parents. To better answer your question go to the sites I've found 4 U.

I hope this answers your question.
