A member asked:
Ferrous fumarate 210mg x3 daily how spread out should they be taken and how long between taking thyroid, ppis, calcium and mag should i give? awkward!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid is best: Taken fasting first thing in the morning. It should not be taken within two hours (before or after) calcium, iron or vitamins as they will alter it's absorption.
