A member asked:
Couldn't swallow iron tablet (325mg) for some reason, kept it in mouth until crumbled then chewed the rest, drank a lot of water. is this bad?? scared
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Iron tab: No, not bad. Iron can upset your stomach, so tabs are coated. But iron comes as liquid for children and adults, and it is not harmful or hurtful. Absorption of iron is only 10-20 percent.
