Question 1

i would like to know what the high iron can do yo me though. it id not heridtary, i always had low iron before. i am not on any medications?

Accepted Answer

Recheck labs: It is very difficult for a person to have high iron if he does not take iron-containing supplements and doesn't have a hereditary or genetic disorder where his body holds onto iron inside the liver. People with that disorder get liver damage. One can recheck the tests, which is not just the iron level, but also ferritin, transferrin, and transferrin saturation. A doctor can discuss the results.

Question 2

good medications for people with low iron?

Accepted Answer

: Assuming one was diagnosed with iron deficiency by a doctor, the first step is to identify why there is deficiency. If there is ongoing blood loss or inadequate nutritional intake, then these have to be addressed. Simultaneously iron stories can be replenished with iron supplements. Please discuss this with a doctor though.

Question 3

are iron infusions safe and more effective than the medication, and do you stop taking the iron pills once you get iron infusions.

Accepted Answer

Anaphylactic Risk: Severe allergic- type rxns ( including fatal) associated with infusions (intravenous) Iron Dextran administration can occur.  Therefore should only be given when oral iron is not effective or possible.  Test does should be given and then rest given when lab-confirmed iron deficiency confirmed. Need to continue oral iron until iron stores are repleted--about 3 months. Very effective when used.

Question 4

can taking iron medication effect your stomach months after stopping the medication  if you took it longer than you were supposed to?

Accepted Answer

It is not very: likely that previous iron medications would be responsible for GI upset now.

Question 5

if i'm anemic can i still donate blood if i don't take iron pills and if i'm on kidney medication?

Accepted Answer

No: Only in a special situation where an anemic person&#x27;s blood is urgently needed would anyone want to take an anemic person&#x27;s blood donation... because it would make the donor even more anemic. Perhaps if an anemic person were the only matching donor remaining in town, and a tranfusion was emergently needed... but that situation should not happen anywhere in modern America.

Question 6

can the brand nature made , iron supplements mess with birth control? on the back it says can mess with some medications .

Accepted Answer

No: An iron supplement will not affect the effectiveness of the birth control pill.

Question 7

i am getting dizzy & nausea. my blood pressuare are normal as well as my sugar levels. my heart rate are 90/sec. i am on chronic medication, vit d and iron as well?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: A doctor or the ER can evaluate, if such symptoms are worrisome or persist. Nausea can be due to many things such as:  stomach virus infection, other viral infection (such as flu), some bacterial infections (such as strep throat), gastric reflux (heartburn), gastritis (may be H. pylori), gall bladder disease, certain cancers, pregnancy, some kidney diseases, medications effects, etc...

Question 8

used ferrimed iron and neurobion vitamin b complex tablets for more than 6 months now- stopped when i realised the sores on my gums may be a result of too much of these medication?

Accepted Answer

Too many: There're too many conditions that can cause these symptoms to be able to differentiate from just a list. You should be physically examined, have your health history and medication history evaluated, you may need x-rays, you may need lab tests. See BOTH your General Physician and your General Dentist to begin the diagnostic process.

Question 9

what can i do to reduce extreme fatigue? right now on medication with birth pill, iron supplement and two antibio for pcos and nabothian cyst. 
also, prescribes with metformin but it makes me dizzy. stopped taking it. can you suggest other option?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.  Wish you good health!

Question 10

my depression and anxiety is so worse and i'm on my normal medication paxil (paroxetine) 60mg concerta 36mg klonopin for panic attacks i've fake b vitamins , magnesium , vitamin d, folic and iron. ?

Accepted Answer

Depressive relapse: Sounds like a relapse into depression. In these situations with the medications you're on it's likely that there is a dopaminergic disturbance. I think it would be reasonable to talk to your psychiatrist about the possibility of adding in Abilify (aripiprazole)  as an augmentation strategy.
