Is it safe to take iron supplements while on an antibiotic?

Likely yes.: Unless you have excess iron in your body, like in a disease called hemochromatosis, it is likely to be no problem taking iron supplements. In fact, a woman of your age should keep taking them to offset possible loss of iron with your menstrual cycle.
