And in how long could i lye down after taking my iron pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
within minutes: Iron pills should not cause irritation to the stomach or esophagus. Thus, you may be able to lie down within minutes of taking it. It may cause constipation though, so be sure to eat lots of fibers and drinking enough fluids to keep bowl movement regular.
