Im taking apo-prednisone 5mg and tramacet can i continue taking my iron pills?

You can and should: There should be no problem with taking iron supplements with these medications. If you were on them before, keep taking them. The only problem to be aware of is that both the tramacet and the iron can cause constipation so increase your fiber either with diet or supplements to manage this.
